How many mantis do you have? I bought 3 egg cases back in June. I hatched them in a brown paper bag. OMG I had TONS of babies. I relesed them in my garden. I kept one in the house. I see the ones in the garden time to time and they are getting soooo big I didnt know they ate crickets. I buy fruit flies for Ruby. I love watching her grab them flies and eat them.

So do you know if she ate her mate after mating?

[Snake lover 3-25]

still mating...... lol

well..... i had 1 on tues....... but now i have seven lol....... i also caught 3 snakes yesterday......

they are mowing the huge field down below my house so i walked behind the tractor and collected all the critters i could so that they wouldn't get run over when it came back...... should be done soon though so they'll...... most of them anyways.... will be released......

[Aundrea]

WOW Wonder how long they will mate?

What kind of snakes did you caught?

The mantids that hatched in my garden are nearly all gone. I have only two left, and judging by the size of them, I'm going to have to bring them in for a while when the weather turns cold. They're only about a quarter of the size of the mantids I've been finding while out walking. They hatched really late in the season.
But I have brought home 3 large ones, who have happily taken up residence in various parts of the garden. Hopefully there will be more egg sacs next spring!
