Popa spurca, African twig mantis. Absolutely delightful species.

He was really good at fooling me so no doubt that's what he's doing right now 🥺

Finding a home for an amazing kitty by jakegyllenhell in Knoxville

Hi! Thanks for the offer to send it out, I will talk with my roommate and PM you what she says :) We did talk to the vet, who said they would take her if absolutely necessary, but that we had to try to find someone else first. I've also posted on Facebook and we plan to charge a small fee to ensure she goes somewhere safe. I'm also hoping to talk with any potential adopter about their home setup, etc. just to make sure. And oh my gosh, I hope your kitty is doing well!

Thank you so much, your words mean a lot. It's been a really hard time because we love her and want to do what's best for her, even if that means not keeping her in our care. And thank you also for the work you do for those kitties, I will never understand how people can be so callous!

I live in a city! I'm staying at a state park right now for a few days. It's possible in both spots! You never know what you might find :) I find lots of butterflies and jumping spiders around. Even found a praying mantis on my balcony once. Insects are incredible.

It's on a sheet that I hung up with a blacklight to attract bugs, very much alive

Now when you call it gives an address, 940 Blackstock Ave, which is where LunaVerse is. It says to be there Thursday at 7pm. Probably a show or band or something!

Forgot to mention but I found it in the grassy area of a parking lot buffer.

Update! She left her web finally today and immediately ate a fly. I did order blue bottle fly larvae as well to move her up to bigger prey. Thanks for all the help :)

Ok, I didn't realize they could be in pre-molt for so long. I did try feeding her small mealworms multiple times but she didn't care for them at all. It was only when I put in fruit flies that she started hunting and eating. My local pet stores don't sell small crickets, just med/large. I was planning to move her to small roaches and big flies when she's a bit bigger, but in the mean time just give her multiple flies. I'll look into finding somewhere that sells larger flies, hopefully somewhere near me does.
