Bugfest 2012 at the NC Museum of Natural Sciences is 9/15 this year.
I've been bugging them for years to have the theme be mantids and it finally is. As some of you know I have been hosting a mantis booth at this event since 07. It is the first and only all mantis booth. Sady, the museum will only allow me to bring U.S. mantids.
So as usual I am looking for ideas or things you think people might be interested in seeing that is mantid related to have at my booth. I plan on a live mantis feeding every hour this year. I also plan on making a large poster to have up and am looking for ideas as to what to put on it.
I will be needing and and all U.S mantids for display. I kindly ask for donations but I am willing to purchase what I need. I hope to be able to get some of the more unusual/uncommon U.S mantids so if you know of the whereabouts of species like ground mantids please let me know. I'll be starting to gather mantids the first week or so of August.
If you're in NC please visit this event. It is quite a show and attracts thousands. I have been invited to give a speech this year on mantids as well.
This has been the general format for the past years. I want to make it better:
