Banning IP's is not fun. Tracking IP's to locations is fun.

And we should keep the guest feature so we can test our witty remarks. :lol:

 
Back on topic with our 'sad little insect world', do you know why my mantis fell of the roof? I mean it was stretching for a photograph, then all a sudden it seemed to leap off and hit the floor, i presumed it was dead, as it did not move for at least 20 seconds. Then she stood up, and climbed to the top again. Why did she fall off?

This is after she spent 30 minutes climbing back to the top, she walked down for a meal.

Good to know that it's ok then. I was worried at first. It shook and just fell off.

 
your using a cane..looks very slippy to me....maybe thats why?maybe a stick thats rough from the garden would be better?

 
Mantids dont understand the concept of glass and can often try to walk or leap straight through it :)

Might have been what she did instead of falling/slipping? which they also do whilst walking on glass, perspex, plastics etc :)
