I gotta say, I just love being with the mantis... They are so loveable and fun. What I like most about the nymphs is the way they act when they are on top of something like the rim of their containers. They get up there and start that swaying from side to side while surveying the countryside around them. Then the second you put your bamboo skewer in front of them, their little arms go up to be picked up. And when you give them something to eat, they grab it like it is a hotdog on a stick or an icecream cone. And how many times have two of them grabbed the same feeder and fought over it! Like many have said here, it is fun to sit with them and watch tv or have them by the pc while you work and play. I love the way they bend down for a drink, always making you feel bad, because of the quickness of their drinking, like ya never give em one :lol: . Or how bout when u open the container and they do all they can to get out on your hand and it's all u can do to get them back in! And with some of them when u show them their food, you are lucky to keep all your finger! I just don't know of anything that reacts the way they do, and their nonchallant way of acting like you are not even there when they are eating, they couldn't care less what you are doing as long as you don't bother them. Then theres the one when u give em their food, thhey turn around and go elsewhere with it to eat, like it's a private matter. Yep, gotta say it, I love em!
