I'm wondering if anyone knows, or has heard or read, recommendations about removing the crop (and its contents) of feeder roaches before offering them to mantids? It seems I've read something about it before (recommending it be removed), but cannot remember where, why, or by whom it was...

I have 2 fairly young adult female Omomantis zebrata females. Please note: These never had a chance to mate with the male, so are obviously not fertile (unless a very rare case of parthenogenesis, which is highly unlikely). One female is in perfect condition, beautiful. She is the one I'm...

I just had to share this deal with you guys. I have trouble sleeping if hubby is snoring, or downstairs playing a movie at theatre level sound, or any other disturbances (like outside noises in the daytime when I'm able to take a nap!). Also when I go anywhere else to spend the night... like...

Anyone else addicted to this game? :rolleyes: I love it... I'm trying to perfect my techniques. :P Fun to play with the family! :D

We recently discovered my son, Jesse, can do a strange trick with his tongue. :huh: :lol: Try as we might, we couldn't do it. But he can fold his tongue like this in place with ease. Have you ever seen this, or can anyone else do it? We were just wondering as we'd never seen anything...

In catching up on my pics from December 2009, I thought I'd share these I took of a few of the kitties in their Santa hat and jingle bells collar. Here's Jesse holding big Zephyr in his Christmas gear... A couple of Magic... Misty girl... Sweet little Meeps... And... um.... hubby...

I've just written about it in my blog, but not everyone reads blogs and I had to share. Of the four Omomantis zebrata nymphs that made it to adult, only one turned out to be a male. And I just discovered a little bit ago tonight that he was eaten by his second girlfriend. Only his poor little...

Needing an adult male/s Omomantis zebrata for breeding, or will consider sub-adult males also. Please PM me if you have any available. Thank you for looking. :)

We've gotten 3-4 inches on top of what we had, and it's still coming down. Expected totals of 6-8 inches by tomorrow. And I'm stuck at home with a bored 10 year old... well, he will be bored when he wakes back up (after hearing the "good" news and promptly going back to bed). I put the trash...

Hubby and I are going Moonlight Bowling. How about you? Doing anything special to ring in the new year?

Made a trade with Bryce, and all went exceptionally well. Great communication and a pleasure to deal with. I recommend him and will certainly deal with him in the future if the opportunity arises. Thanks Bryce! ;) Becky Heacox

I unfortunately just lost both of my male Gongys molting to adult, and would like to find at least a couple of males (either young adult or sub) if possible. Will buy or consider trades. Please PM me with offers, and thank you for looking. :) Becky

My husband sent these links to me today (and he doesn't send many links, or even email me that often). I guess he was goofing around in Yahoo Videoland and found these. They are really cute, and I thought I'd share... Surprised Kitty http://video.yahoo.com/watch/6522901?fr=yvmtf Baby and...

I'm very excited to report the largest of 6 Omomantis zebrata nymphs I've been raising has molted to adult. He's a male and is beautiful! More information and pics in my blog. But I'm curious if anyone else is currently keeping or breeding these? Omomantis zebrata adult male

Do you put the toilet paper roll on so it unrolls over or under? Or does it matter to you? I'm somewhat anal about it (pardon the pun!) and it HAS to go over! ;) I've even been known to change it at other people's houses if I'm visiting (usually just family). :rolleyes: How do you feel...

Hubby went to make some eggs a couple of weeks ago, and he came to me from the kitchen with this egg. It was really oddly and heavily textured, and the only one like it we'd ever seen. It had thick fissures and ridges, and seemed more heavily shelled than a "normal" egg. He cracked it open...

I have a group of 5, of which all are female! :blink: :( Three have just turned adult, and two are sub-adult. I need a male or males for them, and would really appreciate it if someone has one or two. Will buy or consider trade. Please PM or email me at [email protected]. And thank...
