[QUOTE="lancaster1313, post: 147494, member: 4001"] Today was show and tell day for my daughter's Pre-k class. We brought in some L1 [I]Stagmomantis carolina [/I]nymphs along with some subsub and subadults of the same species. We also brought our last living [I]Tenodera sinensis[/I] adult female and some hatched oothecae from both species. The children got to see the Chinese girl eat a Surinam roach up close, and some of the Carolinas eat some fruit flys. We passed around the hatched oothecae so the children could feel them. To end the presentation, I passed out some mantis coloring sheets that show a Chinese mantis and her ootheca. Most of the children really loved the mantids and were willing to gently touch the Chinese mantid's wings while she was busy eating the roach. :D I hope that some of the children can become interested in nature and the things that they can find when they play outdoors. Maybe some of them won't want to watch TV or play video games all day after school. <_< [/QUOTE]
