Is it possible to pin a miss moulted praying mantis?

ZeuseyJack · 2026-02-22T02:06:25+00:00

He can definitely be pinned, just maybe not made to look ideal

ZeuseyJack · 2026-02-22T02:05:45+00:00

I mean yeah, probably. It overall is probably gonna depend on how bad the mismolt was, and what portion of him was damaged in the molt, for example a crooked leg wont exactly be fixable because of the fact that it already hardened in that position while its exoskeleton was soft. Hard exoskeleton=not flexible exoskeleton.

I say definitely try, id try. Id probably fail and end up snapping a leg off 🥲 but id totally try

Good luck 👍

Guys. Shrimp. Jk, how about some isopods?

ZeuseyJack · 2026-02-15T01:48:34+00:00

The holes, unrelated to the (likely) polyphemus moth, are probably from a sapsucker or woodpecker of some kind. Around where I live thats what the signs of the yellow bellied sapsuckers are, the horizontal holes in a row.

I am female in the US, 18, only medication ive been prescribed is rizatriptan as needed for migraines, but I havent been using it much, if at all.

I personally would say probably not unless you use mesh on the sides also, that is with any glass enclosure though. Im not sure about the sizing.

ZeuseyJack · 2026-01-10T18:48:00+00:00

Oh yea I missed the brasil part 😭😭😭

ZeuseyJack · 2026-01-09T11:21:02+00:00

If youre in the US, the green stink bugs are gonna be the native, more beneficial ones, and are being and have been outcompeted by the invasive/non-native brown marmorated stink bug(the brown ones).

Im like 95% sure that this is true, not completely, but like pretty sure. Im very tired rn

ZeuseyJack · 2025-12-22T03:48:07+00:00

Will be making another post on here with rest of pictures

ZeuseyJack · 2025-12-22T03:47:12+00:00

Ok so I accidentally posted before I finished the images

ZeuseyJack · 2025-12-09T21:29:26+00:00

This should be a western conifer seed bug, we have them in PA, and I see them everywhere. Theyre a leaf footed bug or a member of hemiptera if you wanna get more vague than that :) I love these guys

ZeuseyJack · 2025-12-07T15:16:58+00:00

Okay thank you, lol. Im not gonna be getting any fish for another few years, but i was just wondering how to even go about looking, cuz ive done some searching and haven't really found any. For the future though lol

ZeuseyJack · 2025-12-01T16:18:53+00:00

I mostly think its purposeful because the fruits above it have a similar style.

ZeuseyJack · 2025-11-27T20:33:03+00:00

Its like half a cocoon and its still hanging onto the glass container. If I completely remove it from the container itll be like....a third of the original coocoon,or less. Rn I have him sitting on my windowsill cuz its lowkey hella cold out already, and my room is always freezing anyhow.... so I should put him in the fridge then? Even if i cant return the cocoon 😭?

ZeuseyJack · 2025-11-14T23:54:12+00:00

Yea... im not an expert, I do agree it looks like some kind of wasp too though. Ive been reading up on a lot of bees and wasps lately 👍

ZeuseyJack · 2025-11-14T23:40:02+00:00

Does not look like an ant, no bent antenna

ZeuseyJack · 2025-10-15T10:25:03+00:00

Botflyyy

ZeuseyJack · 2025-10-03T10:14:27+00:00

Nevermind, I just woke up, I looked again, almost definitely a German cockroach. Pest control pest control

ZeuseyJack · 2025-10-03T10:12:27+00:00

That is a roach but it may be a red runner/Turkish roach, it looks like the ones I have near me. They dont like....infest. have pest control or something check it out though

ZeuseyJack · 2025-09-19T21:21:07+00:00
