@Reisa - Thanks, you actually reminded me that I also have a bunch of oven bake clay (in glow in the dark too)!  Hopefully it's still good and hasn't hardened into a brick lol.  I guess I just went straight to kids clay because I want it to be safe as possible for the mantises.

Soooo excited that I got to order my first ever mantids!  I ordered two Ghost Mantises and some fruit flies from @Sarah K! In other news, look who stopped by for a visit: He/she has been in our porch for about two days.  Water is from me spraying the screen to give it some.  I'm not sure...

@Teamonger - Ah, that sucks :(  What about a small species that won't get that big?  But then I guess your mantises would have to accuse you of picking favorites LOL!   You gave me an idea, I could make little mushrooms for my tanks out of children's air-dry clay!  Of course, they probably...

I love the container with the glow in the dark mushroom, it's so cute!  I bet it's really fun taking your mantises to work.

@Zeppy44 - Do you keep other species?  Or just ghosts and orchids? Haha, that's funny.  I bet your mantis enjoyed the snack at your expense LOL.

@Rick - Thanks! c:

@Ocelotbren - Aww they're adorable!  Congrats on all of them getting to L4!

@Ocelotbren - Yeah haha!  Glad your nymphs are doing good!  Do you have pictures of them?

@Ocelotbren - Thank you!  It's really easy to get sucked in...Do you own any mantids yet? @Sarah K - Thank you!  ...And join the club lol I live very close to my neighbors as well and I'm sure they think I have a screw or two loose.  How perfect that you commented on my thread, I've...

My name is Amber and I was born and raised in Delaware, USA. I have loved animals for as long as I can remember.  That includes those that people tend to shy away from (insects, reptiles, arachnids, etc.).  I seem to love them the most.  Insects have always fascinated me and you can often spot...
