Thank you.

I will be moving soon. Once I get into my new place, I want to start to set up a terrarium. When do Mantids typically hatch out of the Oothe? Spring I am guessing? I will be looking for Ghost Mantids. Thanks for your time.

Me please.

Glad to see your still progressing this.  I would still like a signed copy. After previewing this book, I cant wait to get it.

There are several things to this issue; What type of computer are you using? (PC or Mac) What program did you use? (Word, other) What file extension are you using? Example MantisBook.doc What extension does LuLu need? One of us maybe able to help. Also, save multiple copies.  If you are...

I still want a signed copy please.  So put me down for 1.

What program are you using?  Depending on the program.  Example: Add a text box for the Scientific Name.  Type the name in.  Then select the text box and change the Backround color of the box.

The list looks good.  Do you mention Ooth prior to instar? Captive Care (Term instead of Basic)? For the Geography (Maps Section) it could be as simple as the map with pictures of the Mantids in the highlighted area they occupy.  (Color match the border of the Mantid picture to the color of...

From just seeing the little bit you have posted already, put my on the First Edition List (Author signed copy would be cool).  My son is 5 years old and would love this.  The age group might be lower than your anticipating.  Try not to get to far into the weeds.  Start a "Parking Lot" for items...

Do you have a defined criteria for "Kids Book"?  Scope creep may drag this project out and the final product may not be fit for purpose. I am not trying to discredit any reccomendations, but what does a "Kid" want/should/need to know about Mantids? This is called "Voice of the customer".  What...

Maps.  My boy loves maps.  Might be easier to show where they are from than just a location name.  Maybe the map can be the background of the page?

Can you tell us what lights you are using in the last picture?  They look nice.

Is it the long or the high version? My thoughts are to divide it (Mantid Condo).  Keep in mind the minimum space required for the species. 2x length wide x 2x length deep x 3 times length high. A 20 gallon long you can add 2 dividers and have a total of 3 enclosures 10 inches wide x 12 inches...

My thoughts are that 2 days with a humidity drop will not be detrimental.  Mist before you leave today.  Mist when you get back. Think about nature.  Humidity swings naturally.  It wouldn't be uncommon for a humidity drop to occur naturally. I think the sponge idea is not the best idea. ...

Thank you

Can you give a little more info on the Acrylic.  I know you said you have files for the design.  What software did you use for the design? Did you send out the file to have the Material cut?  If so can you provide said Vendor information? I love this project and it has got the wheels in my head...

What size enclosures?  I would say go higher rather than lower (Confusing?). With a lower watt bulb you are only going to get so much heat.  If that is not enough, your buying a higher watt bulb (pay twice). Plus side is you may have an extra to expand later. If you buy a higher watt bulb, and...

Preface: I have no experience. I would imagine that there would be many variations (phases) in the wild.  Specifically with groups from different locations (Panther Chameleons come to mind.  All are from Madagascar but color is based on where they are from.).  As it is a camouflage trait, I...

Hello Mantid Community,  My handle is Pun1sh3R (as you couldn't tell already). I am a 37 year old Father of two.  5 year old Boy and a 2 1/2 year old girl.  I live in Southern California, but work on the North Slope (Prudhoe Bay) of Alaska in the Oil Industry.  So what brings me to this...
