so I don't post many pictures, but your ( @Little Mantis @Prayingmantisqueen ) photos are always great

I am glad I have so many pics of my mantids, so I can always remember them. Maybe a photo camara is a good birthday gift.

That sounds like a great ? 

 

[Mantis Lady]

My first camera was a bithday gift. An old fashion one where you need to put in a film.?

 

[Prayingmantisqueen]

Thats great

fashion one where you need to put in a film.?

I have one that prints pics but the pic cards are really expensive 

 

[MantisGirl13]

 Yeah, I used to have a nice camera, but my neighbor dropped it in a stream.

First ooth!

 

[Mantis Lady]

Gratz on the ooth!  Hopfully it will give you healthy offspring?

 

[Prayingmantisqueen]

High hopes!

 

[MantisGirl13]

Yay!! Congratulations! I hope that it hatches! Just don't leave it loose like I did once (Ok, twice) because then you will be rounding up nymphs from your dresser drawers, closet, windows, walls, etc.

aahhh, I see it in my mind: everywhere little nymphs crawling  in my livingroom and then with a dog who goes after everything that moves

 

[MantisGirl13]

Yeah, it was pretty hectic! Especially because I found them after I had been away all day and very busy so I was exhausted!

how did your family members react when they saw nymphs everywhere?

 

[MantisGirl13]

My brother said "Let me help!" as he tried to GRAB nymphs! My mom just said "Well, Cora, I hope you can find them all!"

I can imagine..

I get nervous taking my mantids camping (usually lots of children around!) because they go too fast or 'grab' at them etc... One girl went a bit too fast and Sparkle almost bit her because she thought the little girl's hand was prey. Luckly I was quick enough to save them both!

 

[MantisGirl13]

 Good! Yeah, little kids + mantids don't usually go well.

I took my mantids with me for camping and if I was sitting outside handling a mantis, children and (adults came) to watch and ask questions. But none of the kids tried to grab them. Nobody dared to grab them and that is ok. I took the time to explain some things about  mantis  care and loved to do that.

I'm glad no one bothered yours.. I try to educate the children too as I show them.
