My adults pounce on any roach they see, except the small one's, but I wouldn't have a colony if I kept them together. Nymphs, maybe. Once the roaches hit 3/8 inch their dinner for my last remaining mantis (I've let the others go, or they've disappeared in the house, and there isn't any food to...

I want to make it clear now, I was merely speculating, and I am not masterminding a mantis importation conspiracy, uh, er... Phil.... :unsure: :huh: ;) :rolleyes:

And the the Richard Gere/Gary Shandling stories were funny... but this'll bring a new kinda notoriety to the hobby, maybe even open a few eyes, while opening other cavities... :o :lol: You could mail them to Emile or somebody else in canada, and they could mail them down here. I'd bet...

Was there last night and it was the largest one I've been to so far. I doubt it's large compared to a place like San Francisco or New York City or LA or something, but three rooms and some are packed all the time with people. No pets acquired, but got some good deals on feeders. I bought 3...

C'mon, that legislator just wants and expenses paid trip to 'research ' these animals in their native habitat, of course. Wouldn't you like a paid vacation to some island or somewhere that still has native wildlife ?

Watch out for the pieces of him when he explodes, like the mantis looking creature on Predator SSSSsssss pppppplllllllll llllaaaaaa aaaattttt ttttttttttttt

I wouldn't feed dead crickets either, they don't have much of an appetite... :blink: (cymbol crash) tssshhhh I toss them into my turtles or fish or worms

I did the cave tubing and zip lines in belize at jaguar paw. The zip lines arent real long, but they're fun. The cave tubing was a kick, nice a cool. I was so tempted to yell, "anachonda' when a large group of noisy ship cruise people kept yelling and talking loud in the tour that came from...

I found one on my kitchen window, actually where the window meets the rail, half on the window and half on the window frame,, so if opened it would split. I don't think it's fertile though. They all ate each other when free, and I saw no mating, and the ooth is like a deflated ooth, sloppy and...

I think I'm sitting on mine Phil, but I don't feel them... :blink: :huh: there they are

I dont' have near the experience that Rebecca or Rick have, but my chinese mantis' were really simple to raise. Just give them a mist once in a while, shouldn't take too much if your in a humid area and it's not too hot, but they need a drink once in a while, and the humidity really helps when...

You can, turn rocks and grab them. I used to water my large rocks the night before, then flip them in them in the morning for the chickens to scavenge grubs and other bugs. The evening water makes it moist and inviting for the bugs set newspapers out where the bugs may hide, they should be...

it was after the fluid in it probably Are you certain it was a mantis ?

With Phils trap you can have a cricket sandwich afterwards also :) I was thinking about a gallon jar in the ground with a funnel that is big enough to cover the opening to the jar completely, and food in the jar. Crickets check in , but they don't check out... I saw some grasshoppers the...

I figure once the ff's are asleep after freezing that they're pretty easy to handle at that point anyway. On those cheap candles, use one for a few days and check out the soot on your cieling after that, they are nasty

I bought a box of a hundred 32 oz deli cups with solid lids from Sam's Club for around $25 or so. I cut the center of the lid out and put coffee filter over the opening and then put the lid over the container. The filter can be torn if you aren't gentle enough, but it works. I'd opt for the...

When I was at a frog show a pet shop employee told me that when you're away you just put holes in the lid of a 32 oz deli container, big enough for ff's to exit, then invert the container so they have to find their way out. That's his idea of a timed release ff container for feeding dart frogs...

I bought a bunch of 5 and 6 week crickets and let them lay eggs in some peatmoss, and the pinheads were numerous. I made a mistake of 'watering' the pinheads by putting paper towel in the bottom of the shoe box I had them in, and keeping it moist by putting water on it with a baster. I...

Chun pretty much hit the nail on the head, from my experience. I got started with mantis' by indoor gardening, but the pests are not large enough to interest the mantis, unless you have beetles and roaches messing with your garden. I think the first you'd go with lacewings. The larva eat the...
