Did that part mean to say house flies? 2 inches is big enough to take on horse flies and even dragonflies. I've had mantids the size of houseflies take on bluebottle flies.

The only species that come into contact with cactus in the wild would be native north american species such as Texas or Arizona Unicorns. Even then it would be a stretch to say that they love them. Any species typically found in arid regions or around thorny or spiny vegetation would qualify...

Due to my own error and irresponsibility I have lost many of my best mantids. I recently moved and while we were getting settled in my mantids were being kept in a small refrigerator. The fridge was unplugged of course and the door was left open so that they would get plenty of ventilation. I...

my experience is that it is way more complex than just humidity... Both my females came from the same clutch and were kep in identical conditions. One was snow white till she molted to adult and then she got some brown spots on her leg lobes,,, wheras the other one amazingly started turning pink...

Damn shame you're a Brit. :lol: I got 2 virgin females dying to be mated. :(

Well after carefull examination I found that it wasnt her first ooth that hatched out the lonely boy, but rather her third. Her first has yet to hatch out. that makes ssense, because she was mated, and then she laid two ootheca, and then one of my males died, and in a panic I mated her again...

You noted that the thing dies during the wash process rather than afterwards. This tells me that it died rather suddenly instead of through suffering caused by contact with shampoo or even water temerature. My bet is that being washed by a two year old was traumatic for the poor thing to the...

Not that rare... Ive encountered them countless times in TX. They are everywhere you find Pecan trees. There is a connection between the two, though at the moment I'm to tired to research why. Needless to say, the males are hollow resonance chambers cuz they make so much damn noise. In order to...

:lol: LMFAO!!

Yes... if you cant tell I am a huge fan of both Jet Li and Jason Statham, and a movie with both of them is pure win. The One rocked, because it really showed how Jet Li is as talented an actor as he is a martial artist. He played a bad guy in Lethal weapon 4, but really didnt have much of a...

Top 10 favorite movie of all time... See if you see the connection between the top 4 1. Snatch 2. The One 3. WAR 4. The Transporter 1 & 2 5. Wanted 6. The Forbidden Kingdom 7. Unleashed 8. Tomb Raider Series 9. Fearless 10. AVP Series And I know it isnt on the list, but if you...

Well there is still just one. :( But he is happy. :) What are the chances of her first ooth only having one egg in it??

I started my wild fly culture by mixing mashed bananna and yeast and putting it in the bottom of a empty 2 liter bottle. This attracted a very large number of wild flies, which I left to come and go as they pleased for several days. Once I spotted larvae I put the lid on it. Now I have loads of...

WOOT and DOUBLE WOOT!!! Despite the small size and questionable mating a little baby PO nymph magically appeared in the ooth container, so I assume they are fertile. :lol: He has already eaten a FF and now he is just wandering around waiting for his brothers and sisters to come out and play.

Beautiful shots Birdfly! :o

Nope... you are wrong again as usual. Heavy Metal is music based on loud heavy guitar riffs, mainly extremely distorted bass guitar, and may or may not contain screaming. Teenagers screaming their butts off now fall into the genre known as Screamo and may or may not contain heavy guitar. Your...

Since my current job is to stand in one spot and weld stuff for 10 hours, my playlist consists of 167 songs... including three entire albums by Chevelle and Stained.

Looks like I'm in good company... My current playlist is heavy with the likes of Chevelle, Stained, Linkin Park, Tool, Evanescence, Deftones, Scary Kids & Korn. Also some older school stuff like Guns and Roses, Stone Temple Pilots, Soundgarden & Velvet Revolver (new but sounds old)...

Here is a shot of four out of five of them... #5 is still in the enclosure with momma.

****** :blink: Silly Brits and your wierd insult words. jk :lol: Seriously tho, it sucks so bad that your bug sitter sucks so bad. Sorry to hear that.
