Hello from California

[Guest_Gil Gear_*]

Hello all!

I've been a lurker of this board for some time now, and I've even told my nephew about this. I don't know if he posts here, but I do know he reads the threads. Anyway, I introduced him to mantids when he was a little kid, and I was introduced to mantids when I was a little kid (saw one fight 8 spiders at one time before it died hours later from all the bites.) Right now I currently have three female mantids (one european and two carolinas.)

So I'm just taking my time to introduce myself and I just wanted to say thanks for making a board dedicated to mantids and thanks for providing great information.
