I would definitly see it! :D I bet the killer mantis would be a european mantis since they really r "always hungry killers" :D Joe

These guys can be fed crickets and roaches, but they prefer flying insects like flies, moths and butterflies. and wow a flower shop had them, only my pet shop has one or 2 of those a year. Joe

I feed my mantids unknown flies all the time, they should have the wisdom to know whats dangerous or poisonouse by taste, since i feed my european mantis honey bees and they know how to avoid the sting( i only do this because in the wild they are used to catching bees). Joe

Yess! my grandis ooth we got from rick is hatching :D . only one came out so far. it was soo exciting on how it ran around and stuff lol especially when it chased down its prey and even held one fruit fly in each hand. however the next day i took a closer look at it and realized it had threee...

i dont know if we can breed these :? since my feild guild says that they gont have an incomplete metamorphasis(srry cant spell) it says that they appear as beetle like larvae and are internal parasites to wasp nests and spider egg sacks(as said in specy's link). they look pretty cool, but it...
