Maybe I should have messaged you(but people need to know) they can and really should have house flies at L2 and can even eat BB's now, I only use ff's for they're first few feedings at L1 then it's house flies and at L3 it's all BB's there up. They may be saying "where's the beef" lol as they...

Looks great Sally! Be good to my babies ;) Mist every day and keep them warm(84-88), if your keeping them together feed them well, too many flies is better than not enough, they have been known to snack on a fellow molter if not tip top full in earlier instars. :)

I would do a care sheet on Idolomantis even though we did one already, it is very long and many pages. I've kept them in culture for over 2 years now and think I've mastered most if not every aspect of raising/breeding and incubating the ooths. But on the other hand not many people will be...

They both sound old enough, I would try honey coating a live fly and feed it to him, they seem to eat more with the coating. Some males are just crazy in the head though...

Now that my friend is a point of view, and not correct in the slightest!!! :D Idolo are moving art forms... ;)

Hair lice! :pinch:

Peter, 99.9% of the people here including me truly appreciate all that you and Orin have done with this forum, for someone to think your responsible for every post or thread thats not perfect is plain blasphemy, you should do what ever helps pay the bills around here, with banners, third party...

Do not slander Bug Trader, you must not know him, so don't talk about people you don't understand, Rebecca and Michael both help people, trust me they do!

Ha-ha...jk

Do we get gas money?

Michael makes a very good point...def take his very generous offer!

Dim the lights and put on some soft romantic music, works every time! ^_^ Good luck A.

Feed her a bunch(as much as she'll eat)the days before and have plenty of prey in there when you try and mate them, yes save the male for remating later.

Not all mantis sp get cared for the same, what species were you thinking about starting with? Some like it hot and wet, some hot and dry, others are easier and room temp is fine with a misting once in a while, etc. I'll leave to other members to clue you in on a good starter species, but just...

Now this is just the kind of thing that will make Mike come to your house and box your ears off, so your both just lucky he can't read! :lol:

Well thats what I get for being a late reader...

They're very loud, they make unique sound at high decibels, so finding them isn't that hard. But when they're 20 ft up a tree, thats another story. How did he get by the filter? Hey he did it so he shouldn't get any warning points as a prize! ;)

I would only try it with a larger mantis or it may get pulled all over the enclosure, maybe even go hang gliding for a bit... :D

Where in Michigan, and when, I would like to meet you and yeah maybe have you sign one for me bud. :) PM me if you would rather.

Another successful transaction, couldn't ask for more, great guy and awesome packaging! Thanks man.
