Birthday Mantis!!!

[ellroy]

Hi Guys,

Yes its that time of year again (my birthday approaching fast!!) and time to revive the old birthday mantis tradition!!

For the un-iniated, this involves sending free mantis to the birthday boy of the week....was a big hit last year

Mine is August the 7th....I'll be a spritely 31.

I'm not fussy.....although breeding pairs of endangered species will be gratefully received.....PM me for my address,

Alan

Hahaha, so you really expect some mantids? Well I tell you what. I'l send you over a nice batch of Tenodera, and REALLY ruin your birthday

 

[ellroy]

What goes around comes around Ian I guess I shouldn't save any Idolo's for your birthday then?? :wink:

 

[Rick]

Big hit last year? I don't remember. :lol:

 

[Ian]

I was only joking about the tenodera Alan, of course I will order you in a batch of 12 partoxodoera!

 

[Way.Of.The.Mantis]

aww sweet! *ahem* mines in about 6months... :wink:

 

[Ian]

Dam...it's a shame, only people with usernames starting with either "I" or "E" are entitled to a bday present.

Soz meight.

[skinnylegs]

[robo mantis]

nahh lol

 

[ellroy]

I'm so glad this topic got bought up again as its nearly time for mine again....I'm 32 this year so its a big one folks!

Last year, Ian sent me a paratoxodera so you are gonna really have to pull the stops out to top that! You have a few weeks to think about it anyway.....I'm sure Yen will do you a good deal on some rare species if you'd like to have a whip round on the forum.

Thanks in advance for your generosity!

Sorry, can we have your registered charity number please?

Or, scab number as it were?

Heck I'll be 52 on Dec. 1. I am on disability so any free cool mantids would be awesome, as I can't afford to buy any.

Lets add T to that list. LOL

Ooh! and double A with an S!

This is kind of silly, considering I doubt any people will really give each other mantids for free, for a reason as low as that.

I'll still be expecting mine though

 

[TNeal]

I would as I have given away plenty of mantids to people and schools just to spread the hobby. I do this whenever I might have any extra.

Unfortunately not all people are as fortunate to have many extra. I give my extras to my 'insect shelter'. It's a place in my shed, where everybody donates insects that they cannot keep.
