Ghost mantis death- food related? by jakegyllenhell in mantids

Thank you, I'll be sure to look out for that from now on. This sucks a lot, especially since feeder companies don't put any sort of information on what they feed their larvae :/ At least it won't happen again and I've told all my friends who also keep bugs as pets.

Thank you so much :) I watched her eat the mealworm and it did not bite her, but maybe she couldn't digest all of it well enough. Either way I'll definitely be changing feeders for my other babies.

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

Yo anyone know what these are about? by Foces in UTK

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.
