Getting back into mantids and wondering if there is anyone in Tampa?!

I don't know the correct scientific name, but here in Florida it is love bug season. Are they safe for mantids to eat?

How long after they breed does the female lay the ooths?

I live in FL and it is usually pretty warm. It has dipped down in the 40's and I want to make sure that my mantids stay warm. Can I use just a regular heating pad(for sore muscles) to keep them warm? I don't want to bake them, so what I am looking for is the common setting to put the pad on...

I just bought some crickets from a pet store and there are some crystal like substance in with them, about the size of a fingernail. What is this stuff? I'm guessing it is some kind of food.

How do I get in touch with admin? I have sent some PM's, but they will not leave my outbox. They just sit in there and are never released!

One of my puppies I produced.

I got some egg sacks online and none of them hatched. Is there a certain amount of time to wait for this to happen?

Just getting into this hobby and was wondering if there is anyone in Tampa, FL with mantis. I'd like to check some out and learn alittle more. Scott
