preying mantis you mean?

Shouldn't imagine they take a whole lot of looking after. I'd do a search on google.

I think they are cool little things (never had one) They hit their prey so fast it knocks them out cold, they then eat them alive

i used to have a pet mantis when i was out in the gulf 2 years ago, he used to live in the cammo netting above the smoking bench, we used to feed him little spiders then oneday decided to fight him with a camel spider and he just got slaughtered by it, then the camel spider was pitted against a scorpion and was killed by that. so in light of all this, i suggest you dont get one as they are pussies when it comes to insect death matches and buy yourself a scorpion

ste

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

Sorry but.. seriously get a dog or a bird or something..

Those things type of things are not fun to find about the house, let alone keeping them as pets.

It just makes no sense
