My Praying Mantis

[yeatzee]

No, deffinently not. One it caught on its own (left the cage a little open outside.....lizard got in).

The second one I ran out of food, and I have an excess of them in my backyard. IT was just another lizard that I see everyday on my wall, nothing endangered or anything FORSURE. It kept my mantis full for an extremely long time, which was extremely helpful.

Mantis eating a House Lizard eh, that is extremely helpful but only once in awhile because the more lizards the mantis eats, the less insects they will eat and will go for pure flesh, so maybe you can use lizards but only maybe once a month because when my Hierodula Trimaculuta devour the lizard alive, the lizard parts from my vicious H.Trimaculata looks UGLY :lol:

I mean, you can see the Mantis eat the Brains, eyeballs of the Lizards (Talk about Gore)

And you can also see the Mantis Raptorial legs easily pierce the life of the Lizard...

And to all Lizard lovers, I only fed my Mantis a House Lizard once in my life, will not do again because it will break the heart of the lizard lovers, and besides it gross me out... :lol:

Anyways, got any more pics of your adorable babies mates???

I'll try to get some taken tommorow, but no garuntees since my "studio" setup has been removed.

I will for sure if a nymph makes it to L4! Two nymphs that molted to L4 both died recently from unknown causes.

None have made it to L4 yet sadly......but i have three ooths still hatching

Here are a few pics of my current favorite of the bunch.

Male right?

Once again sorry for the quality, I had to ultra crop. I am getting my 100mm macro lens soon though!

Cute little babies...

Yeah, I'm also a sucker for a young nymph.

They are cute aren't they.... Well that is until they rip each other and fruit flies to pieces
