I use big words because I read a lot. I also use them wrong a lot too. : P

Lol, both me and Alex have the habit of using big words.

Agh, looking at my current setup, I think I'm unprepared for so many nymphs. I don't live in a home that would let me breed roaches and I need to invest in a more organized setup. All ooths will be going to @yen_saw if he is kind enough to accept them.

Europeans do have access to more variety of mantises than the U.S. I wonder if it's possible to get ooths from species not available in the U.S legally imported from a breeder over in European to here. It would involve getting a permit, I'm sure.

Ehh yes, and no? It's not so much innocence as it is deciding whether or not you really need the thought of dismembered corpses in your head. My mother has nightmares about these things if she watches stuff like that. Me and my dad on the other hand find crime shows neat, although it's not the...

Tong feeding is tough and really depends on the mantis' personality. Plus, the prey item you're feeding at well. The majority of my mantises usually accept tong feeding as long as they see the food squirming and recognize its food. My two ghosts will throw tantrums and smack the food a bunch...

I’m fine myself. The waterline will be fixed by tomorrow too. It’s just been a long few days for the community itself.

Rebecca was kind enough to send me a male H. majscula for my female. The packaging was professional, and the little guy arrived quickly as well. He's very cute. Thank you @hibiscusmile

Much of our area has gone under a boil advisory. We had a massive pipe break in the water system, and many do not have safe water/have run out. I'm lucky my family uses well water (and is not part of the town itself), but a lot of people are struggling. People have pretty much snatched all the...

That is kind of silly lol. You'd think they'd lay them on the plants.

Hey! I'll be selling these little guys in the upcoming months. Likely with several freebies/bulk prices. I really just want to keep my females line going so I'll be throwing babies left and right at people if I can.

Again? Don't tell me UPS raised their prices too.

Must be nice. I can never find mantises where I live. : (

This thread has been quite derailed. I just wanted to hear people's cute mantis stories. ;-;

They are not a veteran. Just lots of trauma.

If you think my replies are wordy, then you should listen to my thoughts. It's a constant debate.

What are the silly things you like to do with your mantises? When mine are grooming, I like to place my finger to their mouth and get groomed myself. I think it's hilarious how they just immediately forget they were grooming themselves and just go to nibble on you.

Moths are just fuzzy butterflies and butterflies are just sad, naked moths.

That’s gross but cool lol. Wonder if ground up beans would work too? Probably would stink just as much though if not used in the proper amount.
