Im into ants now guys :) I mean, I've always sort of been interested in them. I am still keeping mantids, but mainly ants. :) Its a colony of 109 workers, 1 queen, ~20 eggs and 6 larvae. Coming out of the recent cold weather they are starting to grow...Enjoy!

I know of many in FL who have been dealt heavy fines for exotic mantids w/o a permit. But FL is pretty tough in enforcing these laws. Join the hobby at your own risk :)

Thank you guys for helpin' out! Its a shame that some people just don't see the beauty in nature and very single-minded on getting money. When I signed it this morning, the count was at 169, 050. Now its at 219, 751! Im not really sure either Rick, but it can't hurt and makes us more aware of...

http://action.sumofus.org/a/mining-costarica/8/2/?sub=fb Dear forum members, I would really like if you would sign this petition. A Canadian Gold Mining company is suing Costa Rica for $1 billion for their decision to protect their rainforests than allow their forest to be mined for gold. I...

You would have to have four control groups, one wirh the fly, one with the roach, and one with the cricket, and one with the mealworm. Then do the experiment comparing the fly and roach, then fly and cricket and fly and mealworm. Then roach and fly, roach and cricket, and roach and...

Sounds like an interesting experiment/research opportunity. However, in addition to the many many many many many many trials (feedings) you'll need to have a control group. And lastly (the most difficult) you'll need to be sure to use mantids that are at the same 'hungry' level. Wether it be...

Did you pay with a PayPal balance or credit card? If its the later, maybe your credit card company might be able to help? And that's a shame PayPal won't do a thing....sorry man :(

Yup mantises love the gooey-ness ;) *for the most part*

Try feeding him again tomorrow....but for now try offering water droplets directly to his mouth.. Also try a little piece of banana to his mouth parts....

Offer the crushed up inerds of the cricket to him...or take off a cricket leg (their large jumping ones) and squeeze the muscle out going from the foot to the larger end....a nice insect-muscle mouthful is at the end of the leg and put that up to the male's mouth parts....he should usually...

Well done mate! :D :clap: All the best, Andrew

Yup ;) You'll get the hang of it....

Elmers glue is water soluble...so in the presence of water, it re-liquifies. The glue in hot glue guns is just molten plastic. The toxic smell usually goes away after the plastic stops being molten and hardens and cools. :) jusy air it out a little before introducing your mantid ;)

Its an awesome little specie....and when I say little, I mean it! :)

Rhombo sp looks like...

Got a package from Rick. Great guy! Excellent packaging and the mantids arrived happily and healthy. And I managed to mate them shortly after ;)

Yup

She is passing, and very rarely do they come back from things like this (most other cases involve some sort of bacterial infection of the sort, and they can sometimes recover from that) ...but this is just apart of life, sad nonetheless :( I don't think they suffer, but instead struggle to...

Happy Birthday Pat! :D :happybirthday: Have a great day with your family and friends! (and your mantids :P ) Age is but a number madam...
