Devil's flower mantis

The guy growing the above is actually in Yoevil

I bet I know where he lives as well

Just up the road from me is a house and you can see his living room is absolutely jam-packed with tanks!!! Looks like they're stacked floor to ceiling. He never closes his curtains because he can't get to them

Want me to go inquire?

That 1st to 2nd instar is amazing by the way.

So many lols.

College had just a few stick insects before christmas, we came back and you could literally get both hands and scoop them up.

We took them back to the pet shop. He said he would take them and sell them on. but I have a feeling they may have gotten fed to the lizards

[Donald]

I imagine that's exactly what he did. Pretty sure most of ours will go to the dragons and geckos

Another awesome 2nd instar for you Nafe

We rescued a Mantis out of the swimming pool when we were in portugal last year.
Quite scary looking things when they raise up at you.
When he had dried out he decided it was a good idea to fly straight back into the pool So I had to get him out again. This time I took him around 100yrds away and put him in a tree
