seen it all now

i just watched a maggot kill a chinese mantis nymph

haha let me exsplain

i tossed a couple maggots in my chinses cage for dinner and i sprayed it down a little too much cause i didnt want the maggots to drie out and die before the mantids could kill them

well this one mantid grabbed ahold of a big ole maggot and starts wrestling him , the maggot is obviously part crocidile cause it does that alligator roll of death thing. so they wrestle around for a while till the maggot ends up rolling over the mantid into a puddle of water, and it gets stuck and drowns. this is better than pay per veiw i got the WWF in a 10 gallon tank

 

[Jolt]

You should have saved him

that's cool, it's good when the underdog gets the victory. who'd have thunk it. super maggot!

 

[hortus]

lol he got his . aparently that mantis was down with the chinese mafia and had some of his homies to get ganster on his umm whatever the rear end of a maggots called.

ive seaperated most out of the 10 gallong into like 4-7 per jar.

 

[Rick]

Never heard of feeding maggots to mantids.

 

[hortus]

they love them. looks kinda like miniture crocodile wrestling without the dagerous teeth.

the maggots are acctually bigger than the flies so it kinda works out good

 

[Rick]

Do they go down to the bottom of the cage to get them?

 

[hortus]

a light mist on the walls and the maggots can climb anywhere but the top

remember these are hydei so they are pretty big too

 

[Mantis Keeper]

My mantids must have been lame, never touched a maggot before, don't seem to like em

 

[hortus]

hmm i dunno im pretty sure these chinese would eat rocks if they moved . im just lucky the mendica liked them
