Welcome! Back up to Robelgado, the species that seems to live longest would be the cryptic species, so the Ghost mantis, Phyllocrania Paradoxa would be ideal.

I believe Zeth is from Mexico. Unfortunately I can't help here...lol

Oh I see. Here's hoping though

:huh: Meaning from some form of job. Good analogy though lol

Wow, the Deroplatys photos are impressive!

Someone, maybe Rob (?) mentioned a little while back that the issue was not exploding, but the mantis getting so full that if it fell it may tear something in the abdomen.

Lol good luck with that, I mean it though. The money's got to come from someplace right?

Incredible photos, thanks for the tips as well!

Wow, wish I could do that, I wouldn't imagine English or Japanese is too easy to pick up

You're gonna give me nightmares, Rebecca :P

If you don't handfeed her for a while then she will grab the food when she is hungry.

not sure where to put this. This is definitely not the best video lol...but my african mantis is constantly doing this back and forth action except when disturbed otherwise, just going back and forth in a jerky fashion...then slips and rolls around on the floor for a while until it regains its...

Colddigger!

she left half a wing, a raptorial arm and a leg...I have NO clue why she was that hungry... :huh:

hmm...too bad, one the second mating the female must've been hungrier. <_<

Sup. Glad you're back B)

Maybe when I was 7 or 8. It was an adult female Chinese and I remember staring at it for hours...or some long measure of an 8 year old time span lol...watching it move.

The pictures are very large on my browser, taking up the entire screen without being reduced so it takes a long time to view everything and some text gets a little bit hard to view because of the pictures. That may just be my browser though.

Lol, Ms. Frizzle :lol: I've always liked mantids just because of those awesome heads they have. Gives you a little bit more empathy with them and the other bugs. It helps that they live a fairly long time for a bug as well.
