LAME
Tenodera sinensis (the one and only)
To the community,
I regret to inform you that tonight's one of the few final nights our dearest and most beloved Echo may have left with us. Though she still clings onto life, she's grown extremely old and feeble. Today I noted she's indeed taken a turn for the worst, as now she's grown so weak she can barely keep her head up.... Let alone her massive body. With her inability to climb or to keep herself up I'm afraid her time is near.
I've tried everything I could to comfort her on her way out, down to her favorite snack, the honey treat, which she declined. Never before has Echo refused her honey treats, until today...
I will forever remember all the found memories I was lucky enough to have created with this majestic creature, for she was my first pet mantis and the mantis that started it all for me.
Though with the taking of life, Echo was kind enough to bless me with 5 fat ooths. Many of those I hatch will be release in spring, as I want my babies offspring to continue to flourish in my area, but of course there will be the certain few that stay with me to remind me of their mother and all the knowledge she had brought to me.
I will also be posting her entire log when she passes, and plan to continue it with her next generation of young.
Thank you,
-LAME.

but you were a great owner and she had one heck of a great life in those huge, awesome homes and having plenty of food and water and her honey treats, theres no doubt that she was a happy mantid, couldnt have been happier i dont think! she even got to mate and lay plenty of oothecae before passing! RIP Echo! She wont be forgotten!
