Oh my god FL is wild fr

Spooky is such an excellent M name

that's a great tip! thank you! maybe i will just bring them to be looked at then & not take them out oddly enough, i do think that one of them hates it worse than the other. they're always trying to climb up to my head i'm pretty sure

I don't work with any organization currently to do outreach FOR, but I have been thinking about bringing one of my mantises to visit my senior residents! Maybe close to Halloween (so long as they're not molting), because by then I will have some more experience with handling/ their temperament...

I just came here with the same question! I figured there was nothing actually wrong because I've noticed one of my mantis' eyes change between a reddish-brown and green a couple times and he's still kickin', but I thought I might be crazy. It's SO COOL to know that! It's wild to me how much...

Thank you! & What does presub mean? What instars would be covered by that?

Here is the second. (Named Acuario bc I decided to keep mantises during the Aquarius Moon.)

I've also realized they may both be males? Here is the first. (Named El Sordo after the Spanish artist Goya.)

I took ref. pics for one of them before I saw you mentioned a coin, so I have it in relation to my watch face WITH a coin in reference to the watch face. There are also closer up pics of each. I'm going to post them seperately to avoid confusion. Thanks for your help (and anyone else who gives...

I recently got a floor length mirror that my 14 year old puppy can actually see herself in. It's been out for days, and the barking at herself has stopped, but once in a while she still gets a bit puzzled by her reflection. Yesterday, I was watching her watch us in the mirror while listening to...

I think I have realized since posting that they are a bit older than I thought. I think maybe I've only ever seen larger mantises before and didn't expect the Carolina to be so small at nearly full size. If I post a picture do you think you could help me ID the instar?

I am new, and have done general research, but can't find info on more specific/odd concerns. Answers to any or all are appreciated. Urgent: 1. How do I keep a mantis safe from falling during molt? Total prevention is ideal, but will measures like soft substrate w/ no loose feeders keep it safe...

This post is old, but if any of the people are still here- Thanks!! I just found two about that size and have been asking all the same questions.

And so am I. Do I believe mantis are probably to be revered as unearthly beings who exist to contradict earthly gender norms? Who teach us the duality of nature? Yes and duh. Haha! Anyway! I am just a nature lover who is good at taking care of things (and thoroughly researching). I actually...

I just wild-caught my first 2 mantis. To me, honestly, with all the shadiness, poor care, and people out to make $$ (who confuse thinking exotics are cool with caring about them) in the industry... wild catching JUST up to a few is a better alternative because 1. At least you know WHAT the...
