    Dead leaf mantis eats her mate.

    the strike was fatal? Isn't it just an arm lock? does the scythe actually penetrate ?

    Mantis poop

    I have plenty of angles for her to lay on. She has been mated, and it's been about three weeks since, maybe even 4.

    Mantis poop

    Is there any chance something will hatch from the individual ooths? She is fertile. She eats fine, looks great , very plump and has shown no other signs of bad health. Her poo wasn't wet and splattery after she molted to adult. the fecal matter was all very normal. Up until now nothing has had...

    Mantis poop

    Hey guys. I feel sort of silly for posting this , but I just noticed over a period of about 4 days there have been small brown dry shapes hanging from the cc. I've never seen clover's feces look anything like this and I know the ootheca isn't supposed to look like this.Is this something I should...

    I'm picturing precarious in clad armor, sword raised and flying into the sunset on his trusty Idolo steed XD EDIT : and I think Santa should replace his reindeer with magical mantids :)

    Mantis show and tell.

    As an actual 15 year old, I can tell you folks that I never lost interest in nature, but probably because I'm the only one among my peers who was ever interested in the first place. When I was 8 me and my brother would harvest and raise frogs from tadpoles to adulthood. Unfortunately the forest...

    All mantis species illegal (Canada)?

    Hey thanks rick! Also I've been to petland aquariums west and this online one from vancouver. ( I'm pretty angry. Just recently the ONLY supplier of around thirty species of mantids had to shut down his buisness) I picked the wrong time to start collecting :(

    Mated female still calling

    Interesting. Never come across a term such as " calling ". Am I to believe they make vocal mating cries? Chirps? Mine has never done that then again her mating was successful ;)

    R. basalis vs. S. lineola

    The shields have very cute faces coupled with interesting shields , so judging from what I've seen and heard, I personally would rather go with the shields.

    Mantids confiscated?

    regardless, it is even less likely that someone would notice and go after my two egyptian mantids given there's multiple branches with them . I have yet to meet a canadian on this site and when I do they might not even be from BC. It's so unlikely ( almost impossible ) that some specialist will...

    Mantids confiscated?

    I have already stated multiple times that egyptians are perfectly legal , and if the major petstore chains haven't had them confiscated then I won't either. Obviously what I say here is public, as what the petstore displays is public. And technically this is a protected forum, therefore not...
