...reporting in! LOL I live about an hour west of Nashville, TN, and I found a little green mantis outside yesterday. It had wings shorter than its abdomen, so I think it's a carolina mantid of some kind, but it wasn't very big, only about as long as my index finger. I put it back outside; I just wanted to show it to my two little girls. I think it was a female, and I think it was hurt or something because it wasn't acting well. Kinda like it was drunk.
Like I said, I live in TN with my hubby and 2 girls, ages 3 and almost 2, and I'm a stay at home mom. I love most every animal, but I especially like praying mantids. They're a totem of mine. Whenever I see any little critter, I always want to keep it and "mother" it. LOL But that doesn't mean I know squat about them. That's why I'm here.
I'm going to keep a lookout next year for some mantids, maybe get some from Gardens Alive! They're located up by my parents in Indiana. Last time I checked, they carried them, anyway. Hope they still do. Anybody know what kind the agricultural places usually sell you? Chinese?
Glad to be here, and busy "devouring" posts! :wink:
