Hello!
I have been a member of Mantid forums for over a year now. I never really got to introduce myself at first so why not?
My name is Electra and I reside in a beautiful country called New Zealand. I am 19 and have been collecting invertebrates since I was 3. I currently have one adult african female mantid. I have a passion for keeping Mantids, however I feel I should learn to look after the current mantids I find before owning different species of mantids and getting the equipment for my future mantids. I am looking forward to reading posts on the forum and expanding my knowledge about these lovely insects.
Here is my current Mantid. The story was that I found her inside my home, knowing there wouldn't be much food for it to eat around the house, I decided to feed her honey (she refused to eat any moths I give her) and water before taking her outside in my backyard on a plant. 2 weeks later (today) I found her again on my bedroom door and she looked weak and became skinny, I had the feeling that if I put her outside again, she might die this time, especially since it's very windy and it was getting very cold (due to winter approaching) so I decided to look after her from then on and that's when I decided after a year of inactivity, I'm finally back on the Mantid forum!
