I used wax moths for a while when I had a shortage of flies for a couple days. It took a long time to get them pupated, but the bugs really enjoyed them! Even Mr. Idolo.

Haha page 33... Anyway, nothing bad to say of course. Yen is always helpful. He sent a bunch of extras. Very nice and much appreciated.

Ok, yeah, that's certainly good to know. This is a no-kill zone..

Customs squishes bugs?? Aww jerks.

I'm not concerned about squished bugs. I know how to package things well. People ship bugs all the time. I'm really only concerned with legality. If it's legal to ship feeder bugs to Mexico, then I might be able to get away with it, but if I'm going to risk getting in to big trouble, then it may...

What if I say it's crickets?

Should I not ship mantids to Mexico or Canada? What about other bugs like roaches?

Red would be awesome.

Haha you don't like bugs on your face? Can't say I've had that happen. Bug on the camera, yes.

Gotta love the dancin'.

Ha, what a liar. Yeah, I saw the phasmids and thought someone might enjoy that.

Wow! That's a very green ghost.

I don't know how old your ghost is. Some turn greenish for a bit right after molting, and it usually fades to brown from what I understand Yeah, that's not the best pic of them, but his antennae turned out awesome! I wondered about that being the case too. I kinda hope so. I've had a lot of...

slightly older- different color Seriously, do I have all males again?

Isn't it always picture time? Zorak. He's handsome. B. mendica My ghostie (molted yesterday). Hierodula majuscula

Yeah, that stuff is very handy.

Very pretty. I look forward to mine hatching in spring. I think I'll even let some outside in ideal places.
