I bought that mask, and it's gonna be the head to my mantid robot... ;)

Thanks for the "remove the guts from the head" idea, I agree that the head is pretty heavy. I also trimmed the spot where the abdomen meets up with the magnet, which allowed for him to stand up straight better. I used the bag to gross out my little nephew. :D

Picked this up last week: Pretty neat. ;)

I posted this video here a whiule ago.... very sick! :0

I agree, males are toooo timid... ;)

So cool! I was away from here for awhile, and glad to see TMP is out! Gotta check it out... !

Try dippin' its butt in a cup of water.... :shock: (watch this vid!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sesYpFdGSTY (about 4 and a half minutes into it...)

Those are pretty odd! (and cool!)

Sorry you lost one. I usually feed it to another mantis...recycle! Then, that other one is still "with you"... ;)

heh, take a toothpick, and nudge the half-eaten thing in his/her hand...it's get all excited, chomp down on it again, and get all happy eatiin'... or, it'll freak out, do the "eek, a mouse" stance, and drop its dinner like a goofball. :D

NEAT! http://www.mutantvehicle.com/mantis.htm

How about sticking 'em in a little see through box that you can carry which lets the kiddies see them, but keep them from jumpin' in their hair...?

If she'd eat THAT..I wonder what else she's eat? :wink: That mantid put up a darn good fight! Can't believe she ate it so two kids would go to church... :roll: Looked like a nice mantid, too. Next time she gets hungry, I'll send Splinter in with his new chainsaw claws... :twisted:

I kinda like the slightly musky smell of baby mantids... ;) Mine rarely smell, I clean the tank out a LOT, and I NEVER , EVER feed them beans! :shock: oops, come to think of it, I DID once, actually. One of mine once ate more then half a chickpea. ;)

Can't hurt to try it, right? :) My mantids seem to like honey... but usually drink water after doing so... ;)

Awww poor lil guy, hope he's ok. :(

Keep him alive! Feed him well, and in a week or so, he'll molt out of that! (as long as he can hang...)

Wow, a Black widow? Never saw one up close. cool pic!

Looks like your little guy is enjoyin' that nice treat! :)

Here's the virtual mantis checkin' out the book:
