Hello

[anthony2001a]

I raised Chinese mantids in the 1970s as pets. At the time, I read every book in the library that was available. In the 80's, I found some European mantids in California and kept some of those for a while. My brother found a California mantis and we used to feed that adult too.

Now it's 2007, and thanks to the Internet, I can have fun with mantids again. I currently have 3 Chinese mantids, plus an Orchid Mantis from Yen Saw.

Nice to be here.

Nice orchid and orchid mantis. I can tell that it just ate a fly.

It's actually an African violet, but I don't think the mantis minds. Do you think the fly wings are a dead giveaway? (no pun intended)
