    Extatosoma tiaratum food for the winter

    Randy and Morpheus, Thanks for your help. The guy that gave me these Extatosoma tiaratum is a hortoculturast and he told me yesterday if I need him to grow anything for these bugs over the winter he could put it in his green house. I really appreciate your help. I have always liked Pray...

    New Camera Lens

    Thanks everyone, I am still learning. This was the first time I used it and I have a lot to learn about taking pics up that close. I use a Cannon Powershot S2 camera that I have had for a couple of years with a 10X HD PRO MACRO LENS. Not bad for $25.00 bucks. I am feeding the E. tiaratum...

    Taking a Mantis from the Wild

    Asa wrote: Yes, as long as you take only a couple, there is no real problem. However with snakes that could be another matter. Just curious, why are snakes another matter. I am just trying to understand. Mabay it is different where I grew up but I didn't know any kid who did not catch a...

    Taking a Mantis from the Wild

    I want to start off by saying that I do not see any problem with bringing home a wild mantis. It is a great way to learn about them. I have done it, and I have a bunch of other bugs that myself or my kids have brought home. What I think is funny is when I mentioned in another discussion that I...

    My first Gambian flower ootheca

    My first Gambian flower ootheca started hatching today. This is the first ootheca that I have ever hatched. I cannot believe how small these little guys are. Does anyone know how many little guys I should be expecting from a ootheca?

    I use a laser to etch the images and a router to cut the acrylic shapes out. I can use the laser to also cut it out, but it is 5 times faster to cut it with a router. Thanks for asking

    new cage

    I would love to make these commercially, but at this time I cannot. Currently I am using a $125,000.00 machine at work to make them and I just cannot afford to invest this kind of money into my hobby. My boss lets me make a few cages here and there, but I know that he will not let me make them...
