Hysteresis' Mantis Stream - 2019

[hysteresis]

I had NO idea, nor did my mantis dude.

Im pleased!

 

[MantisGirl13]

Good! I'm glad you aren't disappointed! I'm my opinion, Megas are better than rhombos.

Thats what someone else said on MK.

LOL. She's a girl, so she'll live longer and be bigger.

 

[hysteresis]

Im embarrassed for not knowing, though. I look stupid.

Don't feel embarrassed or stupid! You were believing what you had heard, that  you had bought a Rhombodera. Unless you had bred and raised both rhombos and megas before, you probably wouldn't have questioned if they were actually what the breeder said they were. 

As for the mistake on what gender she is, well, anyone can make that mistake.

Shes gonna be Huuuuuuuuuuge~ and dude you don't look stupid, happens to the best of us. 

 

[hysteresis]

Truth is I saw long antennae ans looked no further. Haha.

Ok food. After my venosa laid her ooth and I wanted to fill her up, I realized how stupid it is trying to feed grubs crix and flies. So I picked up superworms today, for her and the mega. 

Any advice? Do they bite?

 

[hysteresis]

I crushed the head and cut them in two. The venosa is on her 2nd half. The mega is just finishing her 1st half.

This is easy.

 

[hysteresis]

Well then.  

Plistospilota guineensis, subadult female. 

Her half a superworm is hidden behind her, half-mawed down anyway. Next time, a whole superworm.

I need another exo nano tall.

 

[Charoozz520]

Are roaches a no no? They are definitely meatier than crickets 

 

[hysteresis]

I have two young dubias left, that i'm fattening up / growing up. I had maybe a dozen and a half from around Christmas that I occasionally gave to my golden.

I have superworms now for the golden and the mega. They'll still get other treats. Maybe a baby bird.

Baby bird and mama mantis. The ultimate showdown. Actually no don’t do it!

 

[Mantis Lady]

Maybe a baby bird. 

No don't do that. give her a juicy dubia.

That is a beautiful mantis

 

[hysteresis]

I wonder if it's really necessary to mush the superworm head on mantises this size?

 

[hysteresis]

No don't do that. give her a juicy dubia.



That is a beautiful mantis

And, TY. Thats a decent consolation for being wrong about it all this time, hey? A mega mantis!

 

[Mantis Lady]

How big will she be when she is an adult? In centimeters?

 

[hysteresis]

How big will she be when she is an adult? In centimeters?

I figure 8 to 10 cm. If care sheets are to be believed.

 

[Mantis Lady]

Cool Aurene is 8cm.(head to butt)Then she is really a mega mantis

 

[hysteresis]

That is huge!

I would anyway, to avoid potential injuries.
