Sounds like we need two sterile bricks. One to put the spider on and the other to strike it repeatedly until dead. Just like the old guaranteed potato bug killer scam.

I definitely feel for that mantis, but I gotta try to get another egg sack from it. Giving it tons of food so that it can maybe produce another batch of its offspring. It gets to relax and get free nutrients, basically. They only live one year, so I'll bet she would thank me.

Maybe you can train them to do simple tasks. Like working together to move a remote control or something

I'm going to attempt to raise many of them, and see if I can get a huge population going. And when they occasionally eat one another, that will keep them strong.

It grabbed a leaf bug last night, and it started squirting this bright green defense fluid, but I'll bet that only encouraged the mantis. That stuff was probably like the cream filling.

Make the mantis a tiny little paper pirate hat and give it one of those plastic swords that they put in margaritas. They just look like pirates kind of

Not sure if that's true or not
No. They are very common, I don't know where this rumor came from but its extremely wide spread (my teacher told me it when I was younger)

I went to deliver another katydid to the mantis just now, and I discovered a second egg sack! It seems like her body becomes progressively plumper as she is fed over time, and totally slims down once making her egg sack. Amazing alchemy!

I love praying mantis bugs. I love how their head swivels around. I have one that has been living in my pepper plant all summer. I saw it the other day trying to pull in a bumble bee. That egg sac is neat looking. Glad you are feeding her good!
