It must be some Pennsylvania Dutch/Amish thing. People here are a lil'.......well, nevermind. They just have strange ideas sometimes.

Damn Yankees...

I fed one of the mantis to Walker and he went ape chit over it! Never seen him move so fast!

Mine has grown bored of hand-feeding since I've fed him acouple mantids. Got dubias coming in and a feeding cup to make. Hope he doesn't protest


Really want to breed my own mantids soon though.

Found a stick bug when I was on vacation in July . It was at the park my party was at . So , since both my chams were there , I put it in Winter's cage and my brother's girlfriend said " Isn't it illegal to kill them ?? " . I just looked at her and said " Hey , I just put it in the cage so Winter would have a playmate .... not my fault if she decided it was better tasting than it was fun to play with " .

*Ahhhhhhhh ... I answered in word form , not with a smiley !! I must be losing my mind !!*

Is that really you? Nothing moving, nothing dancing? Where is the fun in that? Do I have to wait until my b day next April? Wait maybe just a couple dancing get well ones when I have surgery next month??

Just an update: I went "hunting" for sticks and mantids last week and came up empty! The weather has "cooled" off a tad. Will this increase or decrease their nightly activities? And when I say "cool", I'm talking upper 60's to lower 70's. Night time temps, obviously...

We have our guys some mantids and had the same result. They moved lightening fast to tag them!

Yeah have a few. They like to eat each other! My boyfriend put that tomato plant in there today because it was so covered in worms that it was hopeless.
