oops, then it'll be too cold. :lol:

 

[CoolMantid]

Should be before then!

 

[Crazy4mantis]

Howabout using a VERY long string to keep them from flying off? Lol. That sounds stupid, Miles and miles of string

 

[CoolMantid]

Guess what! It is going up in 1 week! I will send a more detailed link to a website my uncle made

 

[Crazy4mantis]

WOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!

 

[Sneaky123]

Awesome!! Totally wanna see this.

And i was kind of wondering why there were so many comments on what conditions will be like for the mantids and why they'll die and stuff like that...I think someone working for NASA would know all about this. A lot more than any of us. So no need for reminders.

 

[CoolMantid]

I have all the right nymphs, 3 stagmo mantids will be going up. U can expect alot of pictures and videos

 

[patrickfraser]

Where's the link to the website? Won't everything be documented there?

 

[CoolMantid]

Its a blog.

Lemme ask my uncle if it is ok to do so.

Sweet! Do you plan on taking some pics of the mantis after the the missions conclusion?

 

[CoolMantid]

Yes,

Maybe even a video.

 

[CoolMantid]

Keep in mind this will only happen if the weather isnt too windy or isnt raining

[Crazy4mantis]

If you can , put a cockroach in. They're pretty tough

I'll donate a dubia. :lol:

 

[CoolMantid]

Im 12. Almost 13 though lol

Ewww. I dont like cockroaches. I had them once and they escaped into my room.

There is barely any room for the mantis.

 

[Crazy4mantis]

If the mantids are in the same capsule, then wouldn't they eat each other?

Split down the center with a cotton ball I just asked my uncle now.
