Well I'd have to find them first, and I do have a ton of plants outside, but my dad keeps them up well, the only problem we've ever had has been with aphids... Where is the best place to find plant louse, in densely concentrated areas of plants?

I was thinking about just capturing one, because I do know that they can hunt a mantis if there are too many of them... But thank you, I guess that answers my question... I'm just having a it of trouble finding food supplies for them, and I can't go out to Petco (or anywhere else) as I please...

Title says it all, can I feed my nymphs small ghost ants or are they too acidic...? (ps, if mods would prefer, they can move to my former thread with my nymph questions)

lol, well, I'm happy. Right before I went to bed last night, I looked up like you said Hibiscus, and there he was, exploring the roof and eating... Something, I couldn't tell what it was...

Yes, your English is fine. At least you don't speak in Middle English xD... I'm in advanced English at school... Yeah... I really need to get out more... lol... Anyway, I don't know if I'm authorized to do this, since I'm new here, but welcome to the forum...

lol... I just hope he doesn't suffer if he is stepped on... Anyway, thanks... I'm trying to make sure I can get food to them from now on... BTW, I'm not likely to remain in this hobby. My mother says that "I'm not bringing a bunch of praying mantises into this house"... Well she said you, but...

Well, he might turn up... But four people live in my house, and two dogs and two cats... So it's not likely... But I'll keep an eye out for him... Anyway, I'm doing good with my nymphs... As I stated in the above post, I would really like one of the Mexican Unicorn Mantis' once I've gotten the...

Alright, so once I've gotten the hang of taking care of the mantis' I currently have, I really honestly would like one of these: http://www.mantisplace.com/images/MexicanUnicorn.jpg It's called the Phyllovates chlorophaea... I think he's so cool! I'm gaining experience with my current mantis'...

Well, I'm relatively new to this as well, but the ootheca we had looked pretty similar to that, so I'd say no... But again, I'm new to it as well...

Well, IDK if this will help in identifying them, but they are very curious... They are active day and night, and when released on my hands, they will perch near the edge of one of my fingers, move his head around curiously, and then they'll start scurrying over my hand and crawling up my arm...

Well, one died of... Err, accidental causes, if you get my drift... Anyway, the two left are very active, at first they explored my hands carefully, then they started jumping any chance they got and I had to put them back in their container, which for now is a 1 and 1/2 gallon tank (1.5) with...

Opps... Double post. Edited

Well the thing that attracts me to them is the fact that they are neat, active, interesting pets, but they aren't all that expensive...

IDK... They are really small, and they are brownish greenish, almost not green at all, you know what I mean? Anyway, we're feeding them these yellow aphids that we found on my moms plants... They are much smaller than the mantis' so... They'll be alright, won't they? Alright, I got all three...

Alright, well IDK what kind they are... MY teacher got them with one of those praying mantis kits, so... IDK... Maybe if I take a picture and show it to you guys? That's not for this forum though, is it...

Well, hi! I'm obviously Frogki, but you can call me Frog. Anyway, I'm interested in mantids, but it's not really my hobby. I'm more into fish. However, I recently got some praying mantis nymphs, and I need some info... So I thank you in advanced for any help you may be able to give me, and I...

I am new to this mantid thing, so I need some advice. I just recently got some baby nymphs, and I now have two left. I'd like some advice on care, and housing. I've got a little 1 1/2 as in the tanks is 1.5 gallons, that I can keep one in, will that be big enough? I know that they eat insects...
