New Arrival Jitters!

[TheOtherSpecies]

I don't know about anyone else, but when I have new Mantids "Family Members" on the way I feel as if I'm 7 years old again waiting for Christmas to come! 27 Year old man and I gots the Butterflies!

I get it too. especially if they're late by even a day. I start to get worried about them. Are they ok? are they too cold? I hope they get here soon... I should be building enclosures for them not waiting around... Stuff like that.

lol that is exactly how it is

No matter how many years you do this, its always the same Christmas-like experience...

 

[hierodula]

Same goes for me as well

 

[Digger]

Ditto !

 

[Plex]

The time between paying and receiving a new species I actually my favorite part. I'm weird.

It's so exciting! What are you getting?

I've only experienced this once, but I second Malakyoma... Getting worried about the cold, knowing that as I think about the mantis, he's somewhere out in the big wide world on his way to me...

Sphodromantis viridis - - - My personal Favorite!

Creobroter pictipennis

They just arrived about an hour ago! All healthy and alive! The seller did a great job packing them for their trip into this cold Montana weather.
