Re: Ghost praying mantis

I didn't see anyone selling any this year at the reptile show. I think i do want to get more when these pass on...I've always loved praying mantis, but they just live such darn short lives i can't help but think about their mortality when I take care of them!

I was actually thinking maybe i should get into stick bugs next. I saw that post around here somewhere where someone had ordered some and uses them for feeding. My red eyed croc skink would probably love them.

Re: Ghost praying mantis

I LOVE all mantis. They are awesome, brutal, and come in so many amazing shapes and colors.

There are mantis in NW U.S. I found 'ittybitty' on my front door frame. I grow my thumbnail out on my right hand for guitar, and it turned out to be a sweet little platform for it.

We hung out over a cigarette before I let it go, only needing the slightest bit of encouragement to step off onto a nearby bush. It was cool.

Another one I saw near here was yellow. It looked like gold.
