First steps

[stevesm]

I did notice. I take it as normal that damage would be done where insects are involved in combat. Doesn't seem to affect it where feeding is concerned!

 

[robo mantis]

yeah it happens.

none of the ghost mantids have an eye missing

its my female african, when i bred her she had a scuffle with the male and when i dragged him away she lost the eye

its sods law on her end i suppose, bummer.

she still eats more than a hosre a day

 

[robo mantis]

Oh sorry

 

[stevesm]

I just don't know my species yet

 

[robo mantis]

trust me once you own a certain species you learn the scientific names and stuff

 

[dannyboy]

tis true im jus starting to get the hang of recognising certain latin names for my mitd frinds

 

[robo mantis]

Yep when i started i was like oh no people are using latin names but i got the hang of it. remember if you don't know the latin name search it in google.

 

[stevesm]

Since I've been interested in insects for a while, I'm used to Latin names. Some are just so hard to pronounce though!

 

[robo mantis]

You got that right
