he never told me he was autistic! he knew I was so I'm not sure why that never came up. I got some help as a child but also had a lot of really bad things happen to me that really stifled my social development. I'm not going to go too deeply into that on this thread but my social skills are...

I set up my firebelly breeding enclosure today

yea no offense but I don't need either of the 2 species you're currently offering. Also if only 3 people get to use that coupon code I'd rather it be some others :)

hello! so exactly how long a mantis goes between molts depends on species, temperature, feeding, age, and ***. For example, at warmer temps (up to a certain point), the insect will spend less time between molts. A proper diet will also hasten development, and males tend to spend less time in an...

one female eventually walked off with the darn thing but it's fine. they all got fed

I've had Gongylus and Popa females live well past their 2nd year, spending 18-20 months AS ADULTS!

see I was always the "I really don't like killing anything" even though I was really considering killing myself at that age. it's no wonder I became a vegan! oh, speaking of pinning, I need to lyophilize a Creobroter specimen later!

yes. but not one of those cringey ones who only wanted other believers to be in America or who wanted the gays to be executed or who thought autism was a punishment from god or something like that. I miss joking with him about his pancreas :(

well, it's a very aesthetically pleasing site. I love the colors and layout! welcome to shopify fellow user :)

same, however i also take them with a grain of salt. nowadays I try to be careful how many conclusions I draw from memory or small sample sizes. there's a balance to strike

I beg to differ on this point I think a good keeper can make a mantis outlive its natural lifespan, but I suspect with the suboptimal conditions 90% of people in this community, ESPECIALLY regarding nutrition, shorten lifespans

keep in mind that this key isn't perfect there are almost certainly more than 20 species in this genus, and we don't know if everything is a distinct species or a regional variant. the whole group is a mess but I am hoping this will at least help

RIP by 21 months you mean hatching to death right?

I tossed several flies into the Odontomantis micans cage and all 3 females decided they wanted the same one!

here, have a list of my publications (the latest one isn't on here yet, but it will be): Zachary A. Lee, Alex K. Baranowski, Evan L. Preisser. 2021. Auditory predator cues affect monarch (Danaus plexippus; Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) development time and pupal weight. Acta Oecologica, Volume...

my 7th scientific paper just got accepted to a journal!

there's a practice example up on my site now Creo Key

hey folks anyone in the US interested in about a dozen Odontomantis micans i3-4 nymphs? I have some extras and would be willing to let a dozen go for $50 plus shipping. Also open to trades these are charming, sweet little guys who mimic ants for the majority of their lives. They are very active...

I did a trade with Rebecca (ok I owe her a few more nymphs but I'm waiting for them to molt first) my end came in. The bottleflies were emerging already (gotta set those up!) which is great and she sent me some wonderfully healthy Hierodula nymphs, although they were a bit older than I expected...
