Re: This is not a cricket
Last summer I stopped mowing when I saw about 100 mantis all over the grass blades.
Very cool find

Re: This is not a cricket
He sure picked the right box to stow away in, most other people would of just fed him off.

Re: This is not a cricket
I keep praying mantids in my snake room, they`re great little things Well I say little, the Griffin mantis I`ve got at the moment is huge lol You lucky thing you! What a nice surprise! I`m not sure what species it is, I`ll pop a picture on the mantis forum for you and find out. One things certain, that`s going to be pretty big. She looks like she`s got two or three sheds left to go to adulthood and they pretty much double in size with each shed. Keep us informed! I`ll be very interested to see how she`s getting on I`ll let you know what species she is as soon as I find out

Maybe, between these and all the herps hiding in the grass, I hate to mow.
