I can't find the edit button. Anyways, I sent an email asking about what they had available to sell, what they would suggest, and price ranges to the address (coinbot@peoplepc.com) the mantis site I mentioned before and haven't gotten a reply yet. If I fail to get a reply soon, then I'll be...

Thanks. That gives me time to study and prepare a space for them, (as well as convince the mom that having praying mantids as pets is not such a crazy idea. ;))

I'm having a hard time understanding exactly what you are saying except you want ot replace your live cricket food with roaches. I'm not sure what pet you are feeding them to, since that was ambiguous. For suggestions: List the pros and cons about switching and capatalize on the pros. Ie...

I'm wondering if this site is valid and if it would be ok to consider buying from there? http://livemantis.com/ I like to double check before considering buying because afterall it's my pay pal money I'm using. Last thing I want is to be ripped off. I'm searching for native US species...

The more I look at Stagmomantis carolina on google, the more I want that species. Are they easy to care for? How well would they transport if I was to order an egg case this fall/early winter, or would there be any available? Though first I need to find a supplier. The ones recommended on...

I read a Wisconsin DNR site that didn't seem to like the chinese mantid to put it lightly. But I think Stagmomantis carolina or Mantis religiosa would be fine. Whichever is bigger and easier to keep. What reliable seller would have those in stock? I'd like an egg case, ideally around the...

If anything I can try to contact UWM (Milwaukee), which may or may not be helpful. I may or may not know someone who worked there in the biology department. I had a precollege jr. high sort of activity class there and the teacher was very nice. He let me look at the insect collection and let...

I think I found the usda one. http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showthread.php?t=75953& I think I'll post that in the forum where the person was offering the mantids. Sort of a bummer for her anways. She was trying to get rid of them and being an insect enthusist, I thought I could help her...

alright. Thanks. I guess that's good to know I can't have any before I get into a mess. Kind of a bummer. Does that include native species? Maybe I can hope some day to find some in the wild to look at and observe, if they can't be kept as pets at all. Meanwhile I'll look for those thread...

I'm thinking of getting African mantids or at least researching them. Another possibility is marblewing mantids. There's a supplier overseas that would be interested in shipping some of either species for the cost of shipping. First off I'd like to know if it is legal to own African Mantids...

Hi, my name is Butterflyhornet (not really, but that's what you can call me, or Butterfly for short) I live in Wisconsin, which should give you an idea about what is available and what is not in our area. I'm a terrible typist and speller. I type faster than my hands allow, so if I make...

That's very pretty. Around our area we have red ones like that.
