[drummerdo0od]

MOTHERFUCKER THAT THING IS SCARY! But cool thinking about how it evolved that way.

[OddmusicNmore]

I was imagining this reciting the furious vengeance passage from Pulp fiction

[AlexaAtrocity]

:O Nice! Interesting how you just tapped it and popped his threat stance away..

[Chrome23Houndz]

" That is such a pretty flower. What kind is it? OMG IT MOVED..."

[ToxicGamingNetwork]

these things hurt when they hit?

[superalexstein]

at the begining i can imagine it was saying "I WANTS TO DO DA TANGO!"

[IndigoCat17]

So pretty,haven't seen any bug so pretty before

[NiggaPlease2311]

That thing is illin'. Never heard of such a bug. Are they like going extinct or something?

[utterbeastage]

@NiggaPlease2311 nah not as far as I know, I wouldn't be surprised if they were , they're pretty hard to breed and raise to adult on your first try

[Care4URchameleon]

what sort of cage is that?

i recently bought some mesh hampers meant for small piles of laundry.

but cannot find any that zip up...

[utterbeastage]

@Care4URchameleon I got it off a guy who was loaning me his male Congo last year , ended up just keeping it, no idea where you'd get that but it was pretty good

[x6h0ztx]

i have 2 of them ! they are pink and purple... under there arms are blood drop designs. they are very smart and watch me from there cage. fun to play with and they dont try to run away. they just sit on anything i put them on and they observe my room. i havent gotten a threat display yet. Pics available...

[utterbeastage]

@x6h0ztx good luck getting them to adult , my female lasted to subadult , and my male to presub , both stopped eating mysteriously and starved to death

[djjmria]

@utterbeastage probably because they belong in the forest or whatever, not in a human cage

[tszabo86]

@djjmria only 5 out of 300 survive in the wild. They don't care where they are as long as theyre fed

[Necr0Cys2topsY]

awesome mantis

all I got are the simple green ones
