[QUOTE="-MK-, post: 251242, member: 3016"] It's cool to see that many of the old guard are still around, as well as many newer members. I hope you've all been well. A few weeks ago, I found what appeared to be an L1 Chinese nymph on the side of my house. I could barely believe my eyes, but I recognized the shape instantly. I managed to catch the little guy and bring him (I call them all "him" until they're big enough to count the abdominal segments) into the house despite him jumping from my hand a few times along the way. A short time later, I had him taking up residence in one of my old deli cups and eating fruit flies. Since then, he has molted to L2 and enjoyed eating a couple of mosquitoes as well. It's pretty cool that he could possibly be a descendant of the Chinese mantids I released in my backyard a few summers ago. So I'll probably be here for a while with questions about my new little buddy - if I can manage to keep the collection to just one mantis this time. ;) [IMG]http://i40.tinypic.com/i6kwpd.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
