Hello from BC Canada

[Burmeister]

Hi there,

Thanks for the add, we live outside Vancouver BC, Canada. I joined this group to learn how to best care for our new little family member. We found her outside, she was skinny and barely moving. Now she’s happy in her new home and has a ferocious appetite.  My daughter calls her Chop Suey but my husband and I call her Twiggy ?

Welcome to the forum! Can you tell more about yourself? Have you kept mantids before? What species is Twiggy?

Hi MantisGirl13

No we have never kept a mantis before, we found her so didn’t know her species or really anything about her at all.  We are an animal loving home, all creatures great and small, so when we found her nearly dead we just had to help her.

Welcome

That is nice to save an insect life to take it with you. You did a good job with Twiggy. Can you show us some some pics?

How do you post an introduction do I click "Start a new topic"?

 

[MantisGirl13]

No, you can either just reply to this thread like you just did, or you can edit your initial post.

Here is our sweet Twiggy girl ?

that last photo is how she looked when we found her

 

[Mantis Lady]

she is a beautiful mantis

 

[ausar318]

She is indeed very pretty! 

I must say, there is nothing better than finding a mantis and nursing it back to health or just giving it a good, safe home.

 I agree on that.

 

[MantisGirl13]

 I agree on that.

Me too!
