Thank you. I think I will get my feet wet with another :)

Sorry I should have specified, Blepharopsis Mendica is what I was thinking of. Although the Idolomantis diabolica is incredibly beautiful and I don't see difficulty being a problem, I house tons of different reptiles with varying requirements. But if recommended I will start easier, I am the...

Well just an update on the mystery mantis. Unfortunately it has passed. I tried fruit flies, ants, crickets, water, whatever I could give it. It did not move very much until I gave her some honey (a fun fact from mantisplace), which it had a good time sucking on. After I put her back in her jar...

Nice name! :) Congrats on the school work. Takes a good amount of motivation to go back to school. Hm, Dr. Randall, ya that does sound good :)

I checked out your tracks man, I like what your doin' with that idm style and experimentation. Sounds like you got some experience under your belt :) I'm not quite there yet but we can all play right B) Your Dub Overdrive and trip hop style is killin' it. Good work!

Thanks everyone! Very nice Rick, your right better then never. Biology should be exciting! And it is Best Buy Mr. Mantid :)

I have been looking :) Haven't seen anymore yet but I haven't left my neighborhood. I will try and find some more of this species. Will do If it is a sub-adult I hope it makes it until it is an adult :( I am having some problems with it. It seems very inactive which I read could be a number...

Thank you! I hope I can do it :)

Thanks for the replies! After checking out that species it does appear it is Stagmomantis californica. I hope to get home in time and try to feed it if that is the problem, I was reading about the size of the abdomen and it did look fairly flat. It is in a 10gal tank I had lying around (I am...

Hi Everyone, Just found a mantis outside and being fascinated with these I decided too keep it. I brought it in and put a couple strands of a bush she was by. I believe I counted the segments correctly and got 6 so I hope its a female. I have looked through many pictures but I cant be sure of...
