Hey All, I'm going to be doing a series of presentations to some very young kids (3 through 5 year olds) at some local day care/nursery schools during the "week of the young child." I did this last year with my CP's and mantids....and it was great! Tiring, but great. But last year I had...

"I put up pics on FB recently labeled mantis A, B and C and my cousin posted pics of a flyswatter A, B, and C!!!" I'm sorry - but that IS funny. I mean, you post on FB, and you get what you get. As far as people being raised to hate bugs...it's true! Unless it's a ladybug, butterfly or...

Those single spots and nice green color scream lineola to me.

This is it! This is the big time! All you CP nerds out there need to check this out! http://www.necps.org/icps2012/index.html Cheers!

Jcal, that's a great collection! Really nice ceph. I have trouble with those....too hot in the summer here, too cold in the winter. And I just don't have the patience to great an ambient climate like they need. I can only keep plants that thrive on neglect....consequently my sars, vfts &amp...

Hi All, There are major carnivorous plant auction going on right now to benefit the NASC (North American Sarracenia Conservancy). Please check www.nasarracenia.org for more information. If you are into CP's, this auction cannot be missed! There are SO MANY FREAKING COOL plants being offered...

And no females. ARG? Can anyone help out? I'm willing to send out on breeding loan, or I might consider purchasing a female....

This is going to be fun. My daughter is doing a short reading to her second grade class....and they invite the parents - it's a "biography" based on someone in the family they "interview." Of course, she had to interview me. She asked if I could bring in my matids & my plants for a short...

I have a female R stalli, adult, unmated. I think you're looking for one. I got my stock from Joe Capricorn, and she's a beauty...

Yen is awesome! Got my package yesterday from him Hierodula majuscula. Even a couple freebies! Packaging was top-notch Everyone was healthy & happy. Thanks Yen!

Received a package from JC yesterday. Beautiful, health and HUNGRY little buggers. After dropping in a few FF's, one matis has a ff in each arm! nom nom nom! :blink: Prompt replies, and prompt shipping, too.

huh - looks like a Popa spurca, somewhat. Convergent evolution is really amazing.

Those pics are out of this world, man! Fantastic!!! What a beautiful species, too....I never really looked at a glass mantis before...But DANG, now I'm gonna have to.

I dunno, Hibiscusmile, looks ornery to me.... Like, "go ahead, make my day!"

Nah, they pin the wings down pretty well. No hang-gliders here! :P

Dang, Adam - those are great! I LOVE the second one, with that giant shield, and the underside colors. How big is it? Trying to get a life-size picture in my mind. Beautiful work!

I've noticed that younger ghost nymphs tend to be more aggressive (realative to body size) than older ones... Up through about l3 they'll sometimes attack things LARGER than they are....which is unusual for mantids. I just had an L3 take down a moth that was at least as large, most likely...

I believe Slimer was green.

Thanks guys, for the replies. I'll keep an eye on it. Mine is a chines, but a buddy has this problem with one adult female Popa spurca.

Hi Guys, I have one nymph (l5 or 6) which has developed a kink, or crease, of some sort in the abdoman. When it hangs upside down, the abdoman will fold along the crease (about midway down) and just hang there....when it walks on the ground, the abdoman sticks out normally, and you can't...
