Couldn't find where anyone answered this, so I apologize if it has in fact already been answered. I have dabbled in preparing skulls and skeletons with dermestid beetles and in my opinion that would be a fish spine. No sure what species, I never really got into fish that much, mainly just mammals.

Hey thanks! Yea, I don't think it got answered, but I figured it was just too random and too little ifo to be able to tell. We've got alot of hawks and other types of birds of prey so it couldv'e gotten carried there. I occasionally even find random clam shell type of things around, too. Thanks again

Steveo, nice lookin snakes! What is the last pic?

This is the Chinese version (yard full of castings each year), I've only seen the Carolina once and they are NOT a pretty mantis. Very short & stout body compared to the long lean Chinese.QUOTE=ConcinnusMan;224750]What is federally protected?



They don't, that I know of. But if you try to restrain them, they will use their pinchers on you.

Gail, I think that is a male carolina mantis. (Wings do not cover the entire abdomen in females) That is, if it doesn't have a spot (european mantis' have that) on the inside of each foreleg.[/QUOTE]

Has anyone been pinched by a mantis?
