HOW'S THE WEATHER WHERE YOU ARE?

[hysteresis]

Orchids! So excited for you @hysteresis

I have stepped off the ledge, and into the abyss. 

*falling, falling*

TY

And just like that, it fell through. 

My dude could only get the female, so I'll have to wait for L2 nymphs from her the long way.

That was fast, lol! Sorry

Well, Orchids are worth the wait, and at least you have Spinys and Ghosts to occupy your time

And rhombos, M. caffras, and my gem Noël. I want other sp. as well though. 

Those violins look great. Panthers look great. It's just the Canada thing that makes this difficult.

Wish more folk just put em the damned box, like my guy does.

I am sorry you can't get the nymphs! I wish I could do something to get you more mantids, but it is not completely legal to ship live insects over the border, so most people don't take the risk. I have shipped ooths successfully to Canada, but I am afraid the shipping time is too long for live mantids.

Ooths are good too! Just sayin'. Especially Gongyls.

And I always procure nymphs via priority courier. No USPS / Canada Post for this guy. All my bugs are in-hand within 24 hours.

Maybe I can send you a gongy ooth if I ever get mine to lay!!!

Sure. My PMs are open to all my Mantidforum friends.

Probably best to discuss in there when appropriate.

Well... we got over 10" of snow on this storm. Snow is done for now, and the sun is out.

Amazon Prime delivered... never misses a beat. Let's hope FedEx gets it right too.



This snow fell in much less than a days period. Like 15/16 hours or so. On and off.

And now this!

Glad my new babies, and smorgasbord of BSFLs and Waxworms are scheduled to arrive well before this next affront.

 

[MantisGirl13]

We have some snow here too, but not enough to cover the ground!

[Mantis Lady]

Tomorrow we will be having snow too. But it will not as much as in pics of @hysteresis The pics looks good to have a snowball fight

 

[Prayingmantisqueen]

We are getting snow as I type and its snowing cats, dogs, rats, mantids, and frogs!! That basically means alot. 

We have the same -30 windchill coming our way too....yikes!

 

[hysteresis]

It will be *sick* here until maybe Friday, or Saturday.

Brutal cold.

 

[MantisGirl13]

Ya, cold here too! The heater is staying on in my room all day for sure! 

- MantisGirl13

 

[Mantis Lady]

No snow in my city. But I am sure in other side of country they have snow.

 

[hysteresis]

Brutal cold spells this year.

Grrrrr.

Grrrrr.

I hate the cold! We had -1 degree weather this morning, and that is really cold for PA!

- MantisGirl13

 

[Prayingmantisqueen]

We had -5 and wind chill was colder like -15 or more (perdicted -30 but I'm not sure how cold it actually got) shortly after I posted snow, it stopped so we have maybe 2 inches...more perdicted tho.

 

[Mantis Lady]

We need spring weather!! no more cold and snow!
