Ghost Mantis lays an ootheca (video)

[Precarious]

First video shot in the new setup...

No, she is not caulking her terrarium for better insulation!

Up close and personal. You can see the organs at work. I didn't realize how watery the ooth material is when it first comes out. Like frothy spit. :tt2:

Music by Precarious :walkman:

Wowzers, incredible footage! Even shows that long end piece being formed, wonder what that is for.

Thanks, man! This was a totally unexpected catch. I just happened to see her starting and grabbed the camera. This new tank is already paying off! I'll probably put the femal gongylodes in here when they're ready to lay.
