Im shocked the motel didn't work! Try more yeast. Any squishy fruit and a bunch of yeast always gives me more flies then I can count inside an hour or 2. I don't even think I have a culture going. I think I just catch hundreds of flies in my neighborhood. Miami is hot & humid. I would think...

Strange thing was I bought $40 in gas but the gas station only charged me $1.00.... I told them today but they didnt care.

I will if I have to. They are sending an affidavit to sign and they may request I file a report. I work in law and see it all the time.

Went to the beach yesterday. Stopped by WalMart first to get sunblock and my credit card was no good. Called Visa. They wanted to know what I was doing in Philly spending $2,400 at Lowes when I live in Fla. I told them no idea, I haven't been there for weeks. They are taking off the charges and...

I watched a show on bees. When they hatch, their jobs are nursery care, hive upkeep, construction, and then cooling/guarding at the front. They have a predetermined number of wing flaps. Kind of like a countdown on life so that by the time they are out and about getting nectar, they are over the...

Grice is coming out with a new book. Deadly Kingdom I don't think mantids will get another chapter. He does have excerpts you can read from his various chapters in his previous book although I think the one from the mantis chapter was a poor choice. http://deadlykingdom.com/ click on the link...

:D Baby mantids are hungry and a fast response is important. Id hate to be in Maxxxis's position trying to figure out how to feed 40 mouths. It's surprisingly hard to find good information with a google search on the subject. Maxxxix, you'll want to let a bunch of those go if they are native...

So instar = a developmental stage for an arthropod. Why is shorthand for the instar L1, L2, etc instead of I1, I2, etc??? Does the L stand for Level or is it just easier to see instead of I?

Forget crickets and forget buying fruit flys. go to walmart. in the pest area, you can find a fly motel. It will look just like this. buy a water mister if you dont already have one too. They don't die without food right away so don't stress. Also, buy some bananas. Browner is better. Also...

Trunk Monkey 4 When getting your car back is not enough. http://www.stupidvideos.com/video/animals/Trunk_Monkey_4/#911

They look like this guy. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Stagmomantis_carolina_nymph_profile.jpg

I ended up canceling the order since my previous ooth hatched out of nowhere. I have 10 I am caring for. 4 in a screen top and 6 in individual cups with little airflow but better access to fruit flys or so I thought. The 4 in the big container seem to have better luck as the fruit flies cluster...

Here are 2 more They have been feasting. Im still thinking carolina?

It pays to be prepared. I have 6 in individual cups and I stuck one of my fly motels with fruit flies inside the parent container. The fruit flies can go in and out of that thing so they should keep the rest happy. So these are Carolina Mantids?

Ok, I counted 13. Most look great, only one is dieing. I figure Ill single out a few in those glad cups and keep the rest in that parent container. Drinking Container on the right is where I had the ooth

!!!! I just ordered 3 chinese ooths. I had given up on this ooth. I was walking by the container that I put it in and noticed MANTIDS!!! I will be posting pics in a few minutes. I had then in a container which has dirt with lots of little tiny bugs. mites and things. They were directly under a...

I ordered my first ootheca (chinese). Well 3 of them. (Im putting 2 outside) $10.00 shipped! Anyway, Im debating housing for nymphs. I have a 10 gallon with a tight fitting glass top and was thinking I could let them hatch in there and add a lot of fruit flies, and then when they hit the 3rd...

I use a fly motel for flys. Add something gross. You will lose a bunch when you open it. I open it in my screened porch and re catch what gets away. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

I plan to. The ootheca I found must have been empty. Im going to buy one early May from Amazon or somebody here. I have fruit flies going but Ill try paperclip cat food too. I dont think he was trying to pierce a piece. It looked wet so he probably just dipped it in the cat food gravy and it a...

I was doing some reading online on one of my favorite pet store websites and came across a neat article that suggests nymphs do well on cat food. Cat FOOD Has anybody tried this? Sounds convenient to do to get them to size up to small cricket/mealworm size.
