Kiet is a great guy to do business with. I had the intent of only buying one or two Chinese mantises from him, but, because of his generosity, I left with a couple of Dead Leafs and three Chinese at a very reasonable price. After my transaction with him, he has always answered any questions that...

Neato! :) Thanks for putting a notice up. Hope you can get whatever PM issues you have sorted out.

Eh-heh, nevermind. :) Things are all right.

That would only work if people somehow had the same folder names and the same file as it directs you to a location on the C: drive.

He died. :( I wonder if their deaths are connected somehow because they died within a day of each other...

I hope so too. Does anybody have an idea on what could have possibly caused this? Or if there's anything I could do about it? Any environmental issues I should look into?

As in a fight between the two Dead Leafs? I kept them separated -- but I separated because they had a fight in the past. :P Scared the living daylights out of me. Can't be helped I guess...

I had two D. lobatas and one of them dropped dead yesterday. I checked on the one that survived and he seemed perfectly fine. However, this morning, the surviving Dead Leaf stopped using one of his raptorial legs. He just keeps it folded up and he doesn't use it to walk. I know that his leg was...

Today I went out for a walk and, when I came back, one of my D. lobatas was dead. :( It had some red ooze excreting out of it. Like your Chinese, I realized that it didn't have much of an appetite like my other Dead Leaf, though it would still eat a little bit...

David and Goliath. What an interesting pair. :P Hope Goliath gives you a lot of babies!

Okey-doke. Hopefully those will work for me. Thanks! :)

I've been using a low temperature Surebonder glue gun to attach fake plants and such to my mantises' enclosures, but everything seems to fall apart after a couple of days. Do you guys have any recommendations on what kind of glue works best in mantis enclosures?

My first mantis was a Iris oratoria and all of her ooths hatched just fine without me having to do anything. There's a pinned thread above that may be helpful if you haven't looked at it already. :)

Haha, wow. Do they get cable? :P What an awesome enclosure.

Oh, okay. Good thing I didn't really mess with its eye then. Are they all most likely the same species? Being from the same backyard and all? Anyway, Spunker (the first mantis posted) molted pretty recently and she developed some strange black markings: Kind of looks like a mechanic that...

Hm... seems like I was totally off with Manty then. :P Good thing I'm on this forum! My dad caught two new praying mantises in the backyard: I'm not sure if this mantis had that black spot on its eye when my dad caught it. :huh: Tried misting it with a bit of water to see if it would...

Well, I had this one incident where my dad was feeding one of my male mantises that we caught from my backyard. He was feeding him crickets and exclaimed, "Hey, look! He keeps killing them." so he kept putting more of them in there, and my mantis ended up eating a ton of crickets. After that, he...

Ah, really? Thank you. All these mantises I catch look all the same to me. :P

Haha, it probably is. :) Hope the upcoming miniseries is just as good. - Thank you!

Thank you! An Avatar fan? Cool! I was pretty stoked when I found all those Avatar DVDs for sale. Even neater was that they had Indonesian subtitles. EDIT: Found a picture of one of the bajillion Manty Jrs.
