Greetings from the UK

Diamorphine · Jan 8, 2012

I've been into the mantis scene for about a year now after my girlfriend got me into bugs and stuff! I've been using a UK mantis forum but am I right in asking if this is a state side forum?

Either way, hello to you all, I look forward to gaining your advice and knowledge about different mantids, you never stop learning!

These are some of the species I've kept so far:

Acanthops sp.

Deroplatys Desiccata

Deroplatys Truncata

Creobroter Apicalis

Creobroter sp. (blue green)

Gongylus Gongylodes

Hierodula Parviceps

Hymenopus Coronatus

Idolomantis Diabolica

Parasphendale Affinis

Plistospilota Guineensis

Pseudempusa Pinnapavonis

Sibylla Pretiosa

Sphodromantis Aurea

Sphodromantis sp. (blue flash)

Welcome! Yes this is the US and here your username would be "heroin" from the old Bayer tradename for diacetylmorphine, or more familiarly "smack", or simply "dope". That's a nice list of mantids!

Hello agent A, nice to see a familiar face!

And hello to you gripen!

You are most correct PhilinYuma! I chose the avatar when I was in my teens and it seems to have stuck ever since. Diamorphine is the legal form of herion, an excellent painkiller and

hallucinogen if you're into that sort of thing
