My mantises hatched! * 7
    #21737441 - 05/29/15 04:05 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

check it out. arent they adorable?

i let most of them out, there were about 200, kept about 40. mainly because it started raining, and they didnt want to leave yet

gonna let more out tomorrow, depending on how many are still there alive in the morning

eventually, there will only be one worthy of the terrarium.

That is a nice lil terrarium you have set up though.

its temporary, gets the job done though. i wish it was a little bigger so they werent as cramped.

the one i'm gonna use doesnt have netting, so i gotta wait till their big enough to switch em over


their really neat. they constantly clean themselves like cats

Mantises are very interesting creatures

I remember I found a huge one a few years back that guy was like the size of my hand

He would always put his arms up and try to fight me lol

set one aside in a small tupperware bin, with some leaves, twigs, and a little ground beef and wet cat food. it can eat whichever its little heart desires, till its big enough for ants, flies and moths

its name is moonshoe.

Unless you plan on keeping all 300 of them

they do. you give it to them by running a cotton string through it, and they eat the little chunks

they cant survive on it forever though, after 1 or 2 molts, they need to have chitin in their diet, which beef doesnt have and insects do

the babies like wet cat food too, like i said. they just need a little coaxing before they realise its food. he seems to like turkey-gravy FancyFeast. but ignoring the beef string

you can buy adult chinese mantises for like 5-15 USD. it only cost 30$ for 5 egg cases though, each of which produces 75-300 alienbugs

i wont be selling any. i have 4 more egg cases out doors, and i released 75% of these ones that i hatched inside.

im gonna release a few more, and let the rest battle it out


wanna know what the most balanced diet is for a mantis? other mantises.

If cats slaughtered, and ate each other, and also ripped off each other's heads after sex..

How exactly are they like cats again?
