Yes indeed. When he was still talking to us, Christian made the same point on this forum, and it applies to insects generally. Normally, I suspect, when a stock begins to deteriorate, it is due to poor husbandry*; perhaps the colony is missing an essential element in its diet, so I don't think...

"How soon can you beginning mating?" At my age, it takes the pill about 40 minutes to start working. Would Thursday morning be convenient?

Wow! What an impressive gallery of Youtube clips! This way, at least, no one can get warning points for inappropriate language. Since next Xmas is so far away, perhaps I should post this now:

@Patrick: You are not alone in wanting to prevent the "feeble minded" from reproducing. The movement was eugenics, discussed at some length in an earlier thread, and Nazi Germany did very well with it. @Gripen: Your idea of reducing the number of children in each family has been adopted on a...

Except when they make cuteness challenged sheep.

Here's another possibility that works well for snappers: http://bertc.com/subfive/recipes/turtle.htm

Yeah, and the same priciple applies to house flies. The easiest way to provide small HFs is to provide them with less food than you give them for normal sized flies. Chuck at Spiderpharm routinely does this for his 'slings.

Welcome from Yuma.

\Thank you, KK! I've been waiting since last night, checking the forum fruitlessly every hour or so, to read this post, and here it is at last! You say that they "never grasp the concept" (or the banana for that matter), but that is not quite true. The reason for their refusal is that if they...

Well, of course, you're right. In addition to the regular press, Sunny got a cuppla news feeds and there will no doubt be coverage in the NYT science section tomorrow. I think that Lunarstorm may have been looking for a scientific source, I know that I was. This kind of cloning has been going on...

I'm so glad that i don't have to mess around with this kind of thing. Sunny always knows what is best for me in such matters, in this case, the New, Improved Jennifer Hudson: so that takes care of that.

+1 Some inexpensive tools like fine forceps/tweezers, a scalpel, mounted needle or straight dental probe and other odds and ends will be useful, too. Also a surface where you can pin out the exoskepeton will help.When disecting roaches, crix and mantids, some folk will open them up from the back...

Hi love! Good tohear that you are doing well. College and a baby are a hard row to hoe. Good luck to you and keep us posted on how you are doing.

Welcome! Yes this is the US and here your username would be "heroin" from the old Bayer tradename for diacetylmorphine, or more familiarly "smack", or simply "dope". That's a nice list of mantids!

Good one!! My point exactly! :D

Ah, I do know about socialism having lived under a socialist party. You are not alone in abhoring socialism, Massaman, but you may find that it is best fought on an individual basis. For example, if you know anyone, like my daughter, who receives disability payments, you might want to point out...

Anyone like GrayScreen? I took my digibox back to the Time Warner lady a few years ago and haven't quite got around to getting rid of the TV, so I get to see GrayScreen alot. No commercials! :D

You are not doing autopsies guys; you are opening up a mantis without having any idea of its internal anatomy (am I correct?) let alone its pathology and are no wiser when you finish than when you started. Blackened tissue is usually necrotic tissue. Necrosis is not necessarily the result of...

Yeah, no offense ever taken for real, Henry, but we can't get too cuddly or folks will get suspicious! It's a beach, and that's for sure. In my confused, elederly way, I've been looking for political indicators, recently, in the dress of the British officers in Indian regiments in the early 20th...

You are also guaranteed the right of free speech, but that does not extend, famously, to the right to yell "Fire!" in a crowded theatre (sorry, theater), nor does it extend to keeping dangerous and invasive vertebrates.
