Thanks for the welcome. I know I kind of jumped on to another forum member's introduction post, but I was just so happy to see other Ohioans and even Cincinnatians on here. The forum is great. I'm learning a lot. I'm almost ready to take the plunge myself and start caring for one of these guys.
Do any of you who live in Ohio, or more specifically the Cincinnati area know if there is anywhere that sells mantids? I've found a lot of resources online, but if I wanted to pick one up instead of having it shipped is there any way to do that. The closest thing I've ever found was this Bug shop in the Cincinnati Mills Mall, but they've since closed down. They had scorpions, cockroaches, millipedes, tarantulas, and (I thought) mantids. I'm looking for another place that does the same thing. Any ideas.
