Ha-ha!!! Well Andrew all I can say is I hope your stuff doesn't make that sound when you do it! :wacko: After watching it again I noticed a couple class rings hit the ground... :pinch: :lol:

R.I.P. http://youtu.be/C1pI6yy30GU http://youtu.be/a6YKRwhDcmE

No, not what I meant. But people have done it with mixed results

I've magnified the part with the mantis 10X with photoshop and under close scrutiny... I can tell you its a wind up toy... and upon further inspection it indeed was made in China! :lol: :P :D Nikkko is correct though, mantis tend to be larger in captivity due to being "spoiled brats" that...

Are you sure your keeping them warm/hot enough? When I had mine they moved and danced quite a bit @ 88-92 temps, which is warmer than I keep my Idolo.

Thanks both of you. L1's like to get trapped behind the first thing they can find once in a while, so I take no chances, kind of like the ones that sometimes go under the wet paper towel in a deli and don't know how to get back out and you find them dead later when you look and go "sh!t I'm not...

Good ventilation is needed for small set ups for a single mantis, but I also believe bigger is better, I keep 10+ mantis together all time in multipule set ups and in that case many cubic feet are needed to avoid fights and sharing food that can lead to a lost raptor or worse, and don't worry...

Yep, get her up high with nothing below for 5-6+ inches, and remove all food.

That video cracked me up so bad I had to share it, but yeah I'll look into a Remington, I'm thinking a nine ball scatter shot so aim isn't and issue so much or is that a bad Idea? Your right about the friendly fire Michael, don't want to shoot a home invader and accidentally kill a neighbor but...

This one seem's like overkill but still I want one! just don't shoot it at a model that's so jacked up on drugs she doesn't know when to die... http://youtu.be/GBxfY_LlQNw

This post reminds me of a old adage "grab you knives grab your guns we're off to fight the holy ones" Ha-ha! I'm strongly thinking of getting some type of shotty for piece of mind and to have an equalizer to protect my family, any suggestions on a type/model thats easy to obtain?

Well yes of course some are ready before other's are, but I think your missing my point that the older the male is the better the chances of success, it's just my advice to her to go with the higher percentage of fertility is all, but hey do what you feel is right.

The male may mate after only a few days, but will the ooth be fertile if he's not sexually mature enough? I always wait longer rather than quickly(2 weeks+ for the male) to be sure the male is potent and ready to get the job done then remove him and re-mate them every 3-4 days, if he is to be...

Yeah, if you have the time you really should relocate some of the ooths before they're destroyed, and the plus side is you'll know where to look next year.

There's no Orchids drinking out of a flask here! I kinda feel ripped off... :(

Shhh don't tell anyone, now run out there and draw their fire and I'll cover you. :ninja:

Gypsy moths I believe, most people burn the nest on sight.

I want to see a pic of Scott crawling on your face, bonus points if your mouth is open! :lol: Then we'll really see who you give nightmares too :pinch: Ha-ha...

Nice! They look big enough for house flies to me, especially if they cannibalize at L1, but I tend to do things different than most.
