I hope this one posts, I am new to this forum internet blog stuff - I am a middle school science teacher and I love mantids. I am trying to find some as classroom mascots/pets. I am leaning toward the Giant Asian, but the dead leaf looks so amazing. I have raised European, and Chinese mantids - man they eat A LOT of insects. Well if this try posts maybe i will meet some new people, if not i will see if i can figure out what I screwed up and try again. Drop me a quick note - we can talk about mantids, or about whatever is "bugging" you == lol.
