My mom lives in Granada Hills, and said she's been finding all kinds of wild Mantids still. It probably helps that I released quite a few babies and ooths out there last spring and summer. But yeah some folks in L.A are still finding them. Now if only I could start finding some out here in...

I just moved away, but I was living in the San Fernando Valley down in Northridge. Theres a few California folks in here though. Good luck!

No clue on the name, I was never very good at the ones I didnt know. Ill send pics and let you guys decide.

Oh yeah Ive been here for almost 3 weeks now, but like I said I couldnt figure out the website without my computer being hooked up. I was trying mantisforum.com , mantidforum.org, lol everything but .net Ive found 3 religiosa's and 3 green guys. Two of the greenies passed away, one had a broken...

Well I made it to Colorado safely! 221$ for 1124 miles. The "stranger" I paid to tow my stuff out was a really nice guy slow with the driving but nice, The rideshare person that found me on Craigslist ended up buying me 75$ in gas and he mostly rode with the guy driving the truck and trailer...

That is a gorgeous bug, darn now I want one too! lol

:lol: Ahahahah, well I guess it's a darn good thing I graduated almost 13 years ago! She cant ground me for High school things anymore, actually lol she cant ground me anymore period. 30 year old's paying rent do not get grounded, well at least not in my book! haha

Darn, that sucks! And thats one BIG spider! :o Now im even more spooked about the Ivy in my backyard!!

I have Sprint phone service. I guess it's a GPS enabled feature so you can see where your kids go, Or your car in case you left your phone in the car and it got stolen. It's called the Sprint Family Locator actually. Im not sure if the link will work but here you go, take a look...

Thats so cool! Too bad they cant use some portion of it to regrow the species, kinda like those 2000 year old seeds they recently planted. They got one to grow, and it's been an extinct species of either palm or date or something since the time of the Romans invaded. lol but then again if they...

Whoooa hold the bus, I just read here "Mantids are illegal to move from State to state without permits" Im moving to Colorado in 3 weeks, If I get pulled over for something do you think they'd really ask for my permits for my bugs?? I guess I should be safe, so where would I get them? I only...

"Hey crazy lady, did u ever see the movie with Richard Pryor in "Movin" ha ha ha, hope the guy driving the truck is not the skitzo with 8 personalities ! seriously take care! When he shows up take a pic of him and his truck with plates and email it to me or someone. [email protected] just in...

I love those tanks!!! Ive been debating on getting one myself. But then Id feel bad for the other Mantids still in cup's and mason jars, and Id end up broke from buying all these nifty tanks, lol.

Hahaha @ pick me pick me, Hi Rebecca!! I was gonna say in my original post "Hi guys and Rebecca" but I knew some of the other gal's would say what about me?! lol. I may be blond but I wouldnt have put them in with the cooler closed, but I didnt think of making it one of those styrofoam ones, so...

Hey Everybody!! It's been a while since Ive been on, I've had all kinds of stuff to handle. But here's the short version of it. All but 2 of my ooths hatched this year, so I had hundreds of babies. I released quite a few and only have 13 now. I kept quite a few more but they die off for one...

lol @ can I bargain. I used to have one of the other kind that didn't suck them up. It worked for catching crickets but I always wanted one that had a vacuum in it, thought it'd be funnier.

So I remember last year or the year before there was talk of lots of local bug and reptile shows, but with my hand injury and all I didn't get to any! I'm wondering if anyone knows of any bug shows coming to CA? A buddy of mine said he went to a huge one years back out here, but I wouldn't...

Wow indeed. I dont think I'll try preserving Mantids after reading this, I dont want to cut into them and gut em, eeewwwww! :blink: lol I can be squeamish once in a while, I am a girl after all. I'll just stick to buying preserved butterflies from Ebay, lol.

I noticed as my 2nd ooth was hatching that not many of the babies are making it off the strings. They seem to be getting stuck and then just dry out and hang and die! And if they make it some of them still have ooth stuff stuck to their back feet are they're either stuck together or have just...
