I know! It happened to me in my car last week. There I was driving home from work and BOOM... I died! I wake up and I'm like "Man, thank God for all these clones of me!".

Heads up. My first praying mantis, which I got about 2 months ago was a Gambian Spotted Eye. Always did great, healthy, ate his fruit flies, pinheads, and now small crickets. Always kept him in a deli cup with a lid that has cloth on it. Just got 32oz deli cups today. Added some of that...

I think he's got Manti-Aid. Medical coverage which will fully cover Mantagra for those more.. inactive breeding sessions though it will NOT cover the Mantid-Birth control crickets. ;) Of course, the molting problem is a pre-existing condition so he might have to pay in full! Where is...

lol regular emergency room here tonight huh? Nurse Katnapper is on the way! Good idea with the tape.

lol sorry about all the confusion! haha I was pretty darn frantic there for about 10 minutes. He's doing fantastic and will be fine. After that, I just FAST-switched ALL of my nymphs into the crumby cups and all of the Peacock mantids are ready to molt. (2 of them actually look like they...

Nope, got him in a long long deli cup with a mile between him and the ground. He is now stretching WAY down and even unfolded his arms to hang THOSE down too! Whooohoo!! We did it!! SAVED! THANK YOU!!!!!!!

I kid you not, he is x3 bigger than he was, cannot believe how much bigger! getting the rest into the deli cups right now as we speak.

I think he's good!!! Here is the picture, he's hard to see in the low light and he's a very light color and so is the background! Yay!!!

Wait... things are changing, is this a successful molt? SOME if not ALL of his old skin is on the floor... his whole body looks like a very light color and his body is hanging upside down... picture coming... touching the cup made him move... very scared.. he is skittish... picture coming

I'm on it!

Well, after my last few mismolts, everyone suggested 32oz cups. I ordered some that weekend and due to a problem, I have yet to get them in the mail (a week later). Anyway, I got too worried and ran to the grocery store for some 32oz deli cups. (Crummy ones covered in the store logo, and very...

Perfect. Great lady-music to match the great lady-photos.

What this thread needs is some sexy saxophone music ;) bow chicka bow bow

? I'm confused. I suppose I should have provided some greater detail. I may, or may not have seen this particular species in the past. Maybe it was a lapse of memory. Maybe I'd seen it where it was "pink" not pure white. Anyway, thanks for the info.

The only visible digits are the date/time and I doubt that's any secret that needs keeping. I see you called the artist ;) I make a bee line right to his work whenever I visit the CAI. Unless E. Munch is on display; in that case Gogh's gotta get in line. :P Speaking of Gogh's long dead...

Man, this is one great step-by-step guide. I might try this out one day Yen! Nice blog too!

Yea, that's okay I suppose. But if you want to save money I would simply place some Elmer's glue on the lid and sprinkle some vaccuum droppings onto the glue (especially if you just vacuumed the bathroom). I find that wonderful things that are sucked up out of your carpets make for some...

:P nope, just found that picture online and wanted it identified because I hadn't seen one quite like that before. :)

Gotchya, so it's common in the USA. Must just be a strange color or an odd picture. Looked different :P
