Re: baby mantis

They're tiny! How do you even find them? are your purposely crawling on the floor looking in the grass?

Re: baby mantis

They are by far my favorite bug. I wanted to get one so bad and I was actually planning to get one until someone reminded me that they are illegal in Canada

Re: baby mantis

Because their government is afraid that people will kill them because I believe they are a threatened species
