    Biting?

    She eats all she wants, I put food in there twice a day. She wont take food from my hand. She never shows a threat display. I think she is just mean! :) Maybe she is just very territorial?

    Mantis ID

    Feed them well before hand. She may have already been mated before you got her. My females seem to stop bringing in the boys once they have mated.

    Biting?

    That female is crazy. She keeps trying to get me any way she can now! I've been stabbed before and bitten when holding a wild mantis in a way it did not like, but this lady is ready to attack whenever she sees me. Needless to say, I will not be handling her much if at all anymore.

    Mantis ID

    Hello, Just thought I would add my recent observation. I set out my female Iris in a mesh laundry basket with a branch and leaves because I have better luck with my females laying outside when they are WC. I came back out the next day to check on her and I had a ton of males in my courtyard! I...

    Biting?

    I know this is a tad old, but I figured it was new enough to use instead of making my own. Anywho, I had this female European that was happily crawling around on my hands. She decided to plop-a-squat on my bare wrist. I looked away and as soon as I did, she bent down an started to take a...

    I.D. Please - S. californica?

    What do you think the chances are she's already mated? I've never seen one of these around here, so I'm assuming they are in smaller numbers? I actively look for mantids so, this was a strange find for me. Edit: what size are the ooths? I think I've seen a few old ones around, so maybe they are...

    I.D. Please - S. californica?

    Found this lovely lady today. I've only seen European mantids in this field. An ID would be awesome! http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh83/RawrXimaXduck/b3958b8a.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh83/RawrXimaXduck/18208c09.jpg...

    A plea to my fellow animal-lovers...

    I would not over compensate for her lack of food while alone. I think it would be healthier if you fed her normal amounts (or maybe a little bit more) rather than allowing her to gorge herself. I have some roaches I can part with. Just send me an email at [email protected] if you still need...

    WANTED spiders!

    Hey, sorry for the late reply. The ones around here tend to be grey or black with yellow and red on their backs, red and black striped legs, and red and yellow patterns on their bellies. Very colorful spiders!

    I have a ton of western spotted orb weavers. Crazy big females that are almost 2" tip to tip. They make giant and elaborate webs if you let them. I've seen some 8' webs built in only a few days. Neoscona oaxacensis

    Yep, these are european mantids. I went out to collect some nymphs and I've been finding more than 20 one inch nymphs in a 3 foot squared area! In very low grass might I add. I had no idea they were so abundant here.
