I'm still waiting to see how it went with the class............ :blink:

its garden/ eco class.

mantids = natural pest control

 

[agent A]

I bring my mantids to my high school every now and again for presentations/research papers, plus I got them a class mantis pet!

Now I get to study/work next to her every day!

The principal calls me the school's entomologist. :stuart:

Every one seems to think my bugs are cute, they all like how the mantises turn their little heads and watch them.

there was a girl in my 8th grade class who thought that any hatchling saturniid moth was adorable :lol:

I should have silk moths once my silkworms spin. The silkworms are getting HUGE! I hear they are really fuzzy and fat like a winged mouse. I can't wait to serve some of them. :devil:

Do you have the small, white, feeder silkmoths? Or the large 7 inch ones (Saturniid moths)?

I don't have good hatch rates in my home. I think it's my humidity. so if you do well, please keep me in mind. I'll even take the moths, but the cocoons if sent a week before hatching will do.

I'll still get poor rates from yours, just not as bad as mine.

How big are these guys? Can they fly? I always preffered moths over flies. In fact I was literally just about to make a Wanted Feeder Moth post.

 

[patrickfraser]

They don't fly or eat. Just mate, lay eggs, and die.

 

[CoolMantid]

ok. So they are the smaller, feeder ones. The saturniids eclose, fly (Males are usually the only who do it now),mate, fly, (Both males and females), die (Males only), lay die (females)
