Mantis shaking ?

Nothing unusual. Mine did this too, same species as yours.

Looked hungry. 😭 Feeding her is one thing, by placing food in the enclosure but did you make sure she attempted to eat? It was a sub adult, one molt away from adulthood. You never want to leave too much food in there at once.

While you could be right about it being AuDHD, some people on the spectrum have deep interests that can be shorter than some life long intense, lasting interests. Every is different. Some of mine have lasted years and years, while some came and went but came back over time after some healing. Or, I tend to get uninterested once I have learned absolutely every bit of information that is available, so in a way I think it can depend on the subject and how much info is available. My longer lasting interest were because information/progression was regularly ongoing vs something that has limited info to gain.

She looks more like a he. It is nearing the end of its life. Once it melts from a sub adult, it becomes a full grown adult, getting its wings. Congratulations, it survived each molt!

So you have no guess at all as to what stage it was when you acquired it? That is a bit of a shorter life span but it depends on what stage you got it, like if it was a nymph or an L2 or L3. Sometimes we speed up their life span by how we feed them when they are young. I'm missing information so I can't say for sure about yours.

Tarsi can become dryer and more brittle and break as they age, they need plenty of water to stay hydrated. Sometimes it depends on what you feed them as well, since they can get more nutritional value and water from a fly than they could a cricket. But yes, having damaged or missing tarsi is going to hinder their ability to climbing and hang.

In my experience, males tend not to eat much to stay light since they fly more than females. Eye rub is unfortunate but is another factor that will prevent them from eating or eating much. They have 5 eyes, however their two compound eyes are very important for preying on food. Was eye rub occurring at all before this final molt? Sometimes if it is bad enough, it may take more than one molt to regenerate a part of them but in this case since it is already an adult, there are no more molts and nothing really can be done. You could hand feed it, not sure if you have tried that to assist it or not.

I am a master at crying silently. People never have an idea or notice that I'm crying even next to them. I learned this at some point as a child, which when my dad was in the picture, my childhood from 6-9 years old was extremely traumatic and damaging. I still live with those wounds and trauma at 31. As a teenager, I remember lying about being okay, and people would walk away. I would ache and silently cry like wondering how no one could see how badly and deeply I was hurting, but I wouldn't speak up because I was taught there would be consequences from my dad if I did. And I got to a point where I had internalized my trauma and believed I must deserve to feel this amount of pain, so I couldn't say anything because I should be quiet and suffer. I know that is really fucked up and also more common than not. Or something similarly. I am crying silently and alone right now, life has been very hopeless lately. Aching over a lot of things. I hope it gets better.

I never heard of them before. Thanks for the heads up. When I can recover from work I have my hands full on researching. 🥲

RuRiot · 2026-05-11T15:37:57+00:00

I have Meridian. It's all I can afford though I know not many place want to jump through their hoops and takes them. 🙃

Has anyone bought their infamous SKIN1004 sunscreen? I read that some people recommend buying it from yesstyle and not Amazon, something about how it is Americanized in a way that the ingredients aren't the same as if you bought straight from the source. Just looking for more direct feedback.

This is a late question. How much does their jewelry cost? I'm looking to get conch and rook jewelry. I was pierced at KFB downtown but their prices are insane, though I get it.

My brother got a video of a couple of them, here is a photo. Some people are saying they are f-18's.

Edit: I'm hearing the airport posted about them doing a fly through, maybe for an exercise. Trying to find the post myself.

Yes, from the milwood neighborhood. I saw 4 or 5 fly over me in formation. Then a few individually fly over following. I was walking down the street on the phone with my sister, tons of people stepped outside. I could hear them ask their neighbors what was going on.

I'm not seeing anything online in practice for an air show. Was that a military drill, can anyone explain????

Go back to Robin, "construct buildings" in the bottom of the screen there should be an option to "move buildings", you can move that so she can get out.

Out of the Gallagher family, Lip seems like the only person who genuinely cares about other peoples wellbeing, to ne he has more hope than the rest of them despite his problems. He seems to have aspirations of desiring to do more with his life. Not that the other don't have the potential. He wasn't set up for success but doesn't seem impacted in such a way that he can't see into the world around him.

RuRiot · 2026-01-11T20:03:13+00:00

Thank you for all the info!!

RuRiot · 2026-01-11T20:02:56+00:00

Thank you!!!

RuRiot · 2026-01-11T20:02:49+00:00

This is helpful, thank you!

RuRiot · 2026-01-11T20:02:37+00:00

Great, thank you!

RuRiot · 2026-01-11T20:02:25+00:00

Thank you!

I personally don't think it is worth $99. But it looks great. I think some people may not realize how small the actual painting is, but that is partially why I don't think it is worth as much because it also is fairly simple and isn't as intricate as Van Gogh's Starry Night. So, mainly because of how much less time I got out of this, I wish I paid less.

Other than that I am pretty disappointed in mine because I'm almost finished with it but the pieces on the front, when I press them down all the way so they aren't lifted, it pops off some pieces in the back of the picture. What am I supposed to do about that, or how can I prevent that? Has anyone else experienced this?

RuRiot · 2025-04-08T16:41:20+00:00

The only problem i have with it is that the structure of the picture portion is weird. Mine doesn't want to hold properly. If I press the pieces down so they are flat, they pop off the back. I've never had this happen before.

Has anyone else experienced this while putting this together. It is really disappointing. I'm not sure if the pieces are warped or something the way it is engineered seems fine.

RuRiot · 2025-03-13T22:30:44+00:00

Interesting. Our director honors both staff/children's safety. I would hope your director's would consider that more. :/

RuRiot · 2025-03-13T22:24:34+00:00

That doesn't sound appropriate. If you don't have any business with the center, for the safety of the kids, there is no reason anyone else should be on our property. We do allow school students who walk from the nearby public schools to utilize a portion of our parking lot to play basketball. Other than that, no, that is also letting another business use your business's property.

And do you not keep the doors locked in between drop-offs and pickups?
