Thats funny how the mantids are going to college now! hahaha!

Are they lasius niger?

I see a decent amount of those. They are attracted to a spearmint my neighbors have. I've seen them mating on those and stuff. I kept one once and it at a fruit fly lol! I didn't know the spider thing!

The meat on the seed is called an elaiosome. It is very sweet tasting to ants and wasps. It is also high in protein/fat. It is how the seeds spread. Mostly ants eat these. The ants carry the seed back to the nest to eat the elaiosome. Then when they are done eating the elaiosome they try...

Thanks for the replies! My friend has about 10 acres of mantis heaven hahaha! every couple of steps we see them. All chinese. I really wish we could find carolina mantises up here! We have European mantises but i've only seen males in the 10 acres of his land. We found a european male trying to...

I was wondering if anyone would post pictures of their prime mantis hunting grounds. I have a big garden and was wondering the best plants they like to hunt/live on. P.S. I know i haven't been on in forever! hahah! I've been keeping many other insects as well as mantids. Like ants, bumble bees...

Wow! That is a very angry mantis! I feel bad for the male that had to mate with her!!! hahahahaha!

The wasps look very mean but trust me they are pretty cool! They will not sting humans or anything else that isn't a cicada! Since they are so big people think they are savages and will kill humans (Not the case here).

hahahaha Your mantis must have been like " Whats happening!!!!!" hahaha! Make sure it wasn't a monarch because they are poisonous! But you should be fine with feeding it some other kind of butterfly! haha!

Oh ok I must have been thinking of the other kind of hoverfly. I have smaller ones and they kill aphids.

Hover flys are just like mantids. They are very beneficial! They lay eggs in the middle of aphid colonies and their larva each something like 50 aphids a day! I saw some hovering on my bushes and i saw aphid colonies, and they always damage my plants every year. But the hover flies layed eggs...

His death is a true tragedy! He was awsome!

I won my science fair with my mantid experiment! The experiment was "At what tempurature will a mantis egg case hatch faster?" I had one in the fridge, one in my basement, and one under a heat lamp upstairs. I already knew the outcome but i still did it! hahaha! I hope it helps. Anyone who wants...

You look like somebody i know! hahah

Green eggs and ham!!! YUM!!! (Dr. Seuss quote for those who have no idea what i'm talking about)

Woah!!! You wouldn't believe it!!! I'm in Rangers too!! I'm in expedition and have my GMA!!! Your uniform looks different. Are you in ranger patrol or does it have to do with your outpost? What outpost are you? PM me!

Nice find!

They could be Argentine ants. They could also be thief ants or pharaoh ants.
