Default Re: Visitor - Mantis

i caught one last year and put it in a greenhouse that i made in my living room. I went to the pet shop and would hand feed it crickets. 2 months later, i went in to check on her after school, and it was in the process of making an opus, or egg sack under a leaf of nepenthes sanguinea! couple days later, she died. In the spring i cut off nepenthes leaf and put the opus in our field of tiger lillies. They are really neat to have around, and alienfx is right, they eat harmful pests, just like lady bugs.
