    Idolomantis Ootheca - Holes? normal?

    Yep, yours is *slightly* darker than mine and you have 8-12 holes along the center at the "zipper/seam" . For me, that's the nail in the coffin. Based on this ooth having a that many holes in a line, down the middle of the ooth... I think it's easy to assume that this is a hatched ooth...

    Lets see the face behind the username!

    Awww very sweet. I'd have a few "sunset" kiss pictures but when I dump a girl or get dumped, I always "delete" her... and her pictures. I have one picture of one of my ex's that I took on top of the ferris wheel at Navy Pier in Chicago. I'll have to dig it up one day and show you guys. It...

    FOAM STOPPERS!!!!!

    Oh, and another thing. I cup strips of fiberglass screen and hot-glue them to the inside wall of my cups. Ever see how those noobs have to climb the "rope-wall" in basic training? It's like that. It allows feeders (crickets) and mantids to climb up to the lid. I've found some of my...

    FOAM STOPPERS!!!!!

    To avoid cracks, I use an exacto knife and place a piece of foam behind the wall of the cup where I am cutting. This stablizes and strengthens the plastic and it also allows me to "flatten" the plastic while I am cutting. I make squares too, it's difficult to cut circles. I don't get cracks...

    Hmm I found this on eBay..

    I remember when I had first begun this hobby. I would open the Fruit Fly culture lid, tap it, and the fruit flies would fall onto a glass plate. I would then "pinch" each one and drop it into the cup. I only had 4-5 mantids. It was time consuming but, I was able to manage. Than, I got more...

    Idolomantis Ootheca - Holes? normal?

    Hey all! I received an Ooth from my good friend whom you all probably know, DonL. I absolutely know that Don would **NEVER** send me an Ooth that's already hatched and if it does not hatch, he ALWAYS replaces ooths which goes ABOVE and BEYOND what most would do as far as a "guarantee". Just...

    Can mantids recognize faces?

    With that drunken banter and being your age, you belong at the Viagra Triangle on the Gold Coast... not Madison unless your one of those dorky rich banker types who hangs out at those hotel bars in a 3-piece on a Saturday night. :P
