Did you all miss me?

All I found mantiswise on holiday(Tunisia, North Africa) was a hatched ootheca (Shpodromantis sp.)

I got to ride a Camel in the Sahara desert though .

Visit the 2nd largest Roman ampitheatre(spelling?)

I won't drag you through all my pictures, far too many!

[Ian]

I would say I missed you - although I was in Spain myself, so I didn't.

I think you should post up all of your photos. I'd do the same, but I don't want to give the impression that I'm an alcoholic.

 

[matt020593]

I'm an alcoholic.

[chrisboy101]

[matt020593]

No thank god, was quite friendly actually lol

 

[Kruszakus]

Is it true that people over there consume Camel faeces in order to gain holy power?

 

[hibiscusmile]

Then you returned in disgrace. Go back to Tunisia and fetch at least one new species for the hobby.

Sure doesn't look like prime mantis habitat, though I'm going to the desert to collect them next month!

I was watching "Strutter" and a whole family was pickind up hurds from all over the field and then they like totally started eating scat out of plastic bottles cut in a half (guess they could not afford cups) - this was said to be some sort of a ritual or something...

From wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coprophagia

"Lewin (2001) reports that "... consumption of fresh, warm camel feces has been recommended by Bedouins as a remedy for bacterial dysentery; its efficacy (probably attributable to the antibiotic subtilisin from Bacillus subtilis) was confirmed by German soldiers in Africa during World War II.""
