I used empty Pom glasses through L4: http://www.thisnext.com/media/160x160/8A9A...sware-green.jpg The lid even snaps on and off. Very convenient. After they hit L5, though, I put one in a small critter keeper and the other just stays on this giant fake flower I have in my room. They're both...

My Chinese female ate a day-old dead bee today that had died after a few days in a critter keeper with my uninterested Chinese male. Out of curiosity I picked up the bee, wiggled it in front of the female and she immediately grabbed it and started chowing down, even though the bee was all dried...

I was just going to ask this! My male ate today, but only after I put a moth right up to its head. I'll be more patient next time.

Haha, really? I've never heard that, though I hear I'm pretty tall for a Chinese girl whenever I go visit (I'm 5'6"...pretty average here)

I'm from Jinan, we speak Mandarin. I am okay with the Shandong accent as well (not sure if it counts as its own dialect)... As long as you speak to me slowly I do fine :)

I'm in PA but I go to school in CT. My conversational Chinese is also passable...Barely. I think I'm going to take a character writing class next semester.

Oh no! :( I'm Chinese but I moved when I was 3, so I can't read. Shameful, I know.

Sorry, should have clarified--I saw a forum post where someone had smeared his crickets with honey and bee pollen, and was wondering if there was any benefit to this.

What are the benefits of giving honey to your mantids?

I have one more subadult, but I think it's another male

It went well! I have my first adult! I'm so happy...*sniff* For a while I was really confused as to where the wings were...And then... 1st meal as an adult :) Tucking into a fat female Lymantria dispar (I collect the pupae around where I'm working this summer...I hate these moths, I'm...

I read in another thread you had an eye incident! Actually, a few minutes after I took that picture, it did, in fact, strike at my eye. Luckily it hit the top frame of my glasses, so no trip to the ER for me. I haven't let them on my face since.

Hey all. I'm Xue, a 20 year-old college student. I decided to rear mantids this year after finding some T. sinensis egg cases in the winter, and it's been a lot of fun! They helped me procrastinate during finals :) I think I've found a new hobby.

I thought this was the photo section?

These guys hatched in late April (actually, hatched all over my dorm room--long story) and have been reared indoors. Egg cases. Gave most of them away to friends L7s I spent like five minutes snapping my fingers in front of this dude trying to get a threat posture. No luck L7 getting...
