Well I got my first mantis and he/she is a peacock. I have waited for about 2 or 3 months to get him. Every lfs that I ask around me don't have any. I made alot of phone calls with no avail. So I asked a couple of stores to keep an eye out for one. And finally we hit gold. So needless to say I am beyond stoked and I have to say that it was well worth the wait and the 25 bucks. Its about 2.5 to 3 inches and just knarly. Its not the boldest colors but he is sharp regardless and very interactive. Very interesting too. I can see why some of you good people could obsess over them. He does have a gimpy arm though but I will try my best to make his stay better than what nature may have givin him. I figured I would vent to those with the same interest cause im sure most of you have had about the same experience or reactions. Hope to hear your experiences and maybe some pics of your prized possessions.
