Mantis eats goldfish

[OGIGA]

My orchid didn't want to eat a goldfish today so I let another mantis have it.

This is one hungry mantis.

This must be some gland that doesn't taste very good.

:lol: Nice pictures, heh heh.

 

[robo mantis]

man i thought it was fat to start out lol

 

[Asa]

Yeah, you're right.

 

[OGIGA]

man i thought it was fat to start out lol

I thought so too, but it might be just air... or eggs. I haven't fed her much for the past week.

 

[robo mantis]

probably eggs

:shock: Good Lord, don't fall asleep while taking her pics!

 

[OGIGA]

What do you mean?

 

[hibiscusmile]

She could eat that fish, you could be in danger too

 

[OGIGA]

Oh haha. I think I really need to be careful of my orchid. She's always trying to attack my fingers.

And she had a gold fish yesterday too.

was the fish still alive when the mantid got it?

 

[Asa]

Show the fish flopping around, then the mantis come up and eat it.

 

[AFK]

did the mantis catch the fish out of the water or is that just a drinking bowl?

 

[OGIGA]

I put the fish in some shallow water so that it can still swim around and the mantis is able to reach it. Yes, it was alive, but not flopping around that much. I have a video that I can post up when I'm not so busy.

Shockin!! :shock: no bone left behind either... next time you can throw a bone and name your mantis Fido

 

[OGIGA]

I named this mantis Zulu.

 

[robo mantis]

Lol

 

[OGIGA]

What? Funny name?

 

[Butterfly]

WOW, That Mantid looks ready to burst lol.

I'd have never thought to have offered my bugs a goldfish.
