    The Gall of that Oak

    OMG, Sporeworld! They got to you pretty quick! "Some stoopid old wasp gall" indeed"! Did they get you with the Mind Ray? The last I heard of King Max, he was in the Void or the Zone of Silence or some such unfriendly place, but with a ship like that, I guess that he could break out of just...

    Water for fruit fly media?

    Two interesting points, Carey. I know nothing about soda fountains (non alcoholic, right?), but a friend who owned a microbrewery in Chicago claimed that over carbonation made beer taste bitter, another reason to stick with whiskey. I wonder if the appearance of red algae when you use tap...

    Lets see the face behind the username!

    Gotcha! :D If you are lucky, you haven't seen his last one. I think that one of our Polish member's reaction to it got him warning points! Anything would be an improvement! :D

    Lets see the face behind the username!

    I've been calling Agent A, "Young Alex" for years, Gripen, certainly long before you graced us with your cheerful presence, because he was one of the youngest members at the time and I was one of the oldest. I see that according to yr profile, you don't know your age; perhaps you are the...

    Where are empusa sp. commonly found?

    In France, try Vulcain's house, though he may be off on a field trip. :)

    Orchid nymphs L1-L2

    Like you and me, Henry, I think that Young Alex was just born that way. Fortunately, as you know, the sharper edges get rubbed off as we grow older. Right Alex? :D

    Lets see the face behind the username!

    Goshdarn, Young Alex! I saw that you had posted on this thread and turned to it excitedly, thinking that at last you had posted a recent pic of yourself and, of course, your sister. No such luck, so hurry along there and have someone take a pic!

    Color change!

    Or background color, or latent radioactivity in the water or whether you feed your flies with honey or pollen. I have raised both species and found that many ghosts and most wallies don't change their nymphal color at all. Our threads are full of these imponderables, and they don't advance the...

    Water for fruit fly media?

    Ha! They were lucky. Years ago, when i lived in Chicago, the river in nearby Oak Park caught fire and burned down their wooden bridge! :D @Patrick A lot to what you say, but on the other hand, mate, if we used all our energy discussing things like what kind of water we should use on our FFs...

    Is it possible to take your mantis on a plane?

    No, do not take him on a plane. They just might flush him down the hole. Perhaps you both could take a train? I'm sure you'd both like that, Nicole. Or maybe a hot air balloon? And teach your baby how to fly. I think that he would learn quite soon From watching all the birds fly by. A...

    Water for fruit fly media?

    O.K. Nick, enough rhetoric; lets fight this out like men. I have drunk tap water in Europe (including some of the dingier countries) Africa (Kenya) when beer wasn't handy, in Asia (in Northern Malaysia they drank water from a rain water tank that I was scared to look into), North America...

    Is it possible to take your mantis on a plane?

    Meganlise's idea of mailing it to yourself is the most legal and probably the safest way. Consider it.

    Water for fruit fly media?

    For what it's worth, I think that you are doing the right thing, Carey,but I have been using American tap water for the past 50 years, so that, rather than English water, is my normative experience. The "300+ ppm" refers to dissolved solids, anions and cations of calcium, sodium and potassium...

    Lets see the face behind the username!

    O.K., you guys have really lost me. Are you talking about the legendary former Brazilian Football Team captain who died last year, or the hemlock guy who rattled on about the unexamined life? :)

    It's Happening-MEGAUPLOAD down!

    Well, i don't know that, and I have read the provisions of SOPA and OPEN, and neither do Facebook and Google who opposed the first and support the second. Neither do i find it scary that American Law Enforcement Agencies, through the DOJ have a mutual agreement with over 100 countries in the...

    It's Happening-MEGAUPLOAD down!

    +1 i strongly opposed SOPA and The Kid and I devised a way of closing down this site, had it been passed, simply by illegally recording a copyrighted song and then posting it here using a Droid and a proxy ID (www.proxyservices.com/proxy-phone-minutes) We would then notify the guvmint, and down...

    I was forced to change my profile picture!

    Yes, I noticed on the fist post that it belonged in Other Discussions but decided that Mantiskid was having enough problems without adding another :) . I see nothing offensive or contrary to forum rules in the thread (doesn't mean hat they're not there, just that I don't see them!), but perhaps...

    I was forced to change my profile picture!

    OMG yous guys! Not all recreational drugs are DEA Schedule I and II!. No , I was thinking of Exempt Anabolic Steroids likeAndrogyn L.A. Have you never been out with your friends for a bit of fun and woken in the morning with that all too familiar metallic taste of blood in yr mouth and a bump...
