Went out tonight and found this Dolomedes tenebrosus. She's got a 3.5" legspan.

I don't know what refridgerating adults would do to them. You could stick one in the fridge and see how long it lasts. However, the honey will keep the adults alive at room temp for over week.

That was my thought also, but I didn't have the experience to really know. Hopefully, he will do better now that he has done this once.

Mantids tend to go for a higher perch. If you're looming over them, you look like something to climb up. Just a theory.

Finally got these guys to make contact. I seem to be having trouble with mating these days. The male would jump on and just hang there for hours, doing nothing. Tonight, he finally did the job. Good thing too, because I turned my back for a couple of minutes last week and this same female...

Nice pictures of a nice looking mantis. Looking forward to getting some adults here.

We have two Northern Fence lizards and an Eastern Glass lizard in a communal 40 g tank. We had 4 toads, but put them in hibernation this winter in the basement. We plan on releasing them back outside once spring comes. We may start another anole tank from the ones living around the house...

My daughter and I snipped the wings off a female Chinese mantis last summer. We didn't give her enough room to molt and she got distorted wings. We clipped the wings because we wanted to mate her and thought they would interefer. She did fine without them, ugly tho. Never did mate her as the...

Those are the pupa. This is the stage many insects go thru to transition to adulthood. The 4 stages of this type of insect are - egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Beetles, butterflies, bees, wasps, flies and others go through these stages. Mantids, phasmids, assasin bugs and other go through 3...

Apparently the wingbuds show up prior to penultimate. I'm pretty sure this peruvian is penultimate (and male). Note wingbud size increase. Also, the antenna became fat at the base, tapering toward the end. Don't know if you can tell that from this picture.

Brodie the cat taking his daily 6 hour mid-day nap Peanut the Jenday Conure in a tree branch I set up for him. He loves to chew off all the leaf buds. Branch is beech.

My daughter kept an H. mem nymph that had a bad molt and was bent and stuck in its old legs alive for several weeks. Nymph survived through another molt but could not resolve anything since it could not hang to molt. Eventually died. Nymph had to be hand fed fruit flies 3 times a week. One...

My 2" A. versi juvenile Got this little one at 1/2" last summer

An Orchid Mantis on that black rose would be a nice contrast.

P. agrionina, African budwing was one of my first mantids. I found it easy to raise. Aggressive eater. Fairly colorful.

The top of a Hogna carolinensis wolf spider carapace from a molt.

Not sure I follow. If I send something to someone with tracking, they can't claim it never got there. Is there another way one loses money in their Paypal account? Also, if you pay with a check or money order, do you have any method of getting you money back?
