ImUrOBGYN Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Here's my semi-pet Mantis. It's lived in the same place in my yard for quite some time. I visit her all the time. http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k58/ImUrOBGYN/IMG_1320.jpg http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k58/ImUrOBGYN/IMG_1321.jpg http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k58/ImUrOBGYN/IMG_1322.jpg http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k58/ImUrOBGYN/IMG_1323.jpg http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k58/ImUrOBGYN/IMG_1324.jpg http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k58/ImUrOBGYN/IMG_1325.jpg Here's the bonus pic of a skunk at my house a few days ago. This was about 3am. Only decent pic I could get due to no light everywhere else. At one point, I actually had to run away from it for a short ways when it charged me. They're always fun as long as you're careful. http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k58/ImUrOBGYN/IMG_1317.jpg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex L. Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 In bio freshman year, the teacher had at least 4 of them in the classroom at all times. We used to hold them and let them eat crickets on our hands. It was really cool. I'd like to catch one and keep it as a pet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hot_wire Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Check for the brown egg in a few months. If you get one and hatch it in the spring, ~100 little mantids will spill out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewhop Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Our car lot gets a lot of Mantis (i dont know the plural for that). There was a pair of them out front making out on a s10 a couple days ago. All i could think was poor guy doesnt know he is about to get his head ripped off.

TTQ B4U Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Very cool. My wife ordered some juveniles for the kids this year. Raised them inside and let them go mid summer. they had a blast and it was cool watching them devour their prey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
