Butterfly
Well-known member
Hi there all!
Im Vanessa, I live in Southern California. I have always been a Butterfly collector because my name means Butterfly. And my mom wanted to name me that but fortunately she found out Vanessa meant Butterfly. So thankfully I got a normal name. So far I have butterflies from all over the world all bought on ebay and wherever else I could find them. Over summer I found a very small green mantis and decided not to keep it because she was so small I couldnt feed it crickets. I found another green one a bit later and was able to feed it crickets. Then she escaped somewhere in the house and I never found her again. Now I am raising a VERY healthy European Mantis I named Thor. (I didnt know if it was male or female at the beginning) I found her at work with the help of a coworker, we rescued her from the smoking section and think she wouldve been squished if I hadnt taken her home. Now I have 3 eggs and more to come Im sure.
Either way I love the forum here and am excited to have found so many other Mantis lovers.
See ya around!
