For some reason whenever I picture you guys I always imagine uber nerds. Hair in a bowl cut, glasses, pocket protectors, pants pulled up too high. I guess you guys are really just nature nuts like me, and Acorn though.

Ha! I like that one. ^_^

Dang you guys. So many cool mantids we don't have. We should all chip in, and send somebody out to collect them for us.

That's awesome! I may have to try something like that sooner, or later.

What are the mantid species out their that nobody has, but everyone wants? There's bound to be a few awesome ones out there that aren't being kept.

Well that's pretty lucky he made it at all. How are you helping him eat? Do you just have to hand him food?

Awesome! Are these modified 10 gallon aquariums?

Yeah I think adults have enough trouble breeding them. What with the cannibalism, and all.

Oh, ok. I figured they would have to be near other flowers. That's pretty cool they can attract more insects than some flowers on their own.

You catch all your crickets with tongs?

So cool! I bet it would work great with certain species of roaches as well.

My first guess would definitely be that a hidden insect ate it. Hard to imagine a mantis eating an ooth, but I never pictured them eating turkey either, so who knows. Is there anyway it could have somehow fallen behind something?

10 hours? Ouch, sounds like quite the ordeal. Goes to show the importance of humidity I guess. What about the original question?

That's funny. I thought their mimicking flowers was already well known.

It probably hasn't been done. If you really feel like breeding them you'll have to dedicate more time to finding them. Then I guess just see how they interact with each other.

Nice to know they'll eat Turkey.

Very nice looking mantids. Congrats on getting that Heterochaeta. It's pretty interesting looking.

Cool! I wouldn't mind keeping some of those. It would be nice to know more about them.

How long does the ooth take to hatch for this species?

Wow, so cool! That green one looks especially awesome.
