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?

mayby she just slipped..was she an adult?i find adult mantids tend to fall every now and then.loose there gripping

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.

Damn, won't let me upload the pictures to my gallery. :angry:

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

 

[blitzmantis]

I hope that Leroy guy didn't get through to any of you with his ****ty and retarded post. Remember, Mantids are cool!

Well, i think thats what she did. She seemed to leap at the glass, then fall. Looked like it was trying to eat my family. :lol:
