[QUOTE="Introvertebrate, post: 347231, member: 6009"] Generally speaking, the more expensive the species, the more picky they are about climate conditions. I'd go with Rebecca's or Alex's recommendations. You never know how much life is left in an adult. Insects are incapable of affection. Some might tolerate handling, but none of them like it. You might be able to condition a mantis, if it learns to associate handling with food. You'd have to reward it each time you pick it up. [/QUOTE]
