:lol: It kinda looks more like Budwing mantis Vs. scary fork thingie.

But if that can get a threat pose out of my lazy mantids I will be looking for some big red fork thingies.

It's a red plastic Spork! Lol

The mantis hated it!!!

Do you think it was the red, or the spork?

Here I go a spork huntin'.

Fingers and paintbrushes have gotten me nothing except some climbing up and a few strange looks. :mellow:

Keep annoyingly poking it's butt and it should get really pissed of!

I was hoping that just waving it in front of them and false attacking would do it. No wonder my mantids won't display. I have never tried to surprise them from the rear. :blink:

I just watched all the videos to see if your mantid's butts were still intact.

It just didn't read right when you typed about butt poking. The mantids all look nice and unharmed, so I feel better.

The mantids that I have now don't seem to be able to be upset. I guess because they get out alot, and get gently petted, even on the abdomen, so they must be unafraid or something. :mellow:
