I'm an academic interested in adopting mantids for research

[Sebcredible]

Hi there, my name is Sebastian. Over the summer I was captivated by some chinese mantids I got at a hardware store. Coincidentally, being a molecular biologist has inclined me to use these mantids as a model for interesting evolutionary questions. Hope to share and discuss with the community here as I turn this into a career or engaging hobby!



Cheers,

Sebastian

Welcome!

I would be interested in your studies.

I have definitely learned things from my mantids, but the things I learne always lead to new and bigger questions.

And I'm loving the quest for knowledge.

Welcome!

What kind of studies will you be doing? I really need to know the histology, physiology, and biochemistry of these beautiful creatures. Behavioral studies would be interesting as well. I feel so lost because without this information I do not know how to help them when they are ill. If you need any help let me know. I am looking forward to your research.

There's quite a bit of behavior carried out! A great starting point is here:
