Howdy, y'all

I'm new to the hobby. Came to it by way of gardening and needing biological control over pests.

Got some ootheca's at a whole foods store, and hatched them out and now I have babies.

I have worms also, in the bedroom, not my body, and have fish also.

I'm in Phoenix AZ for now, and have a nice warm place to raise my babies, and will soon set some of them loose in the indoor garden. I imagine I'll still have to feed them, as there aren't really any pests to speak of in my place.

Less than 3 weeks and the babies have molted twice already, so I'm well on my way to insect daddydom, or would that be a dumbdaddy...

Old enough to be some of your dad's, and young enough for some of you to by my dad.

Decided to start on my experimental self-sustaining (hopefully) polyculture, and bio control is a part of it, and the little mantis' seem so cool I decided to get into them a bit more than I probably should have.

I'm also hoping develop a breed of mantis that will be large enough to eat the people that have wronged me's heads... Not really, unless maybeee............
