his...
it won't let me post any of my pics?
wot am i doing wrong?!
how do u guys post them?
do u have to put them online on another site before you post them?
i did some research,& it turns out we only have like 3 species of mantid in sydney.
garden mantis, purple-winged mantis & false garden mantis.
whoever named these mantids wasn't very imaginative
hi, it's timtam!
urm, im not really sure wot im sposed 2 say...
im from australia,
where we have some really epic mantids!
but, because not many people here keep them,
im gonna need some help identifying them
thx!
im 100% sure their mum was a mantid but she was very unique.
im sorry i can't post a picture because she somhow managed to get out of her container.
she was wierd cs she had wings, & looked a bit like a lacewing flie, but she ate flies &
was about 2 1/2 cm long.
her arms were manits...
ive bred nymphs before, but these are way too small!!
they're smaller than any ant i've ever cn!
& they don't have any of the characteristics of a normal mantid nymph...
they're more like bacteria.
they're mum was kind of wierd too...
she had arms that folded backwards, if that makes...
this mantis i found layed these eggs, & when they hatched
they were so small they were only about 1/2 inch big.
no point taking pics cs they wouldn't show up.
how am i sposed to care for these?
