Hello Shia,

Looks like you have been looking for a while. Well I have been trying for a very very very long time to catch the one in my 120AGA. Well when I got home today there it was in the trap. I couldn't believe my eyes. I have a modest digital camera so here is the best I can do for pics. Its pinkish brown with blue green appendages. I'm in Minnesota and I see you where just here last week end doesn't it figure. Anyhow if you want I'll ship I've heard that a thermos can be quite good in shipping small items like this. Let me know. Sorry to babble on I'm pumped I finally caught this mantis.

Thanks, it looks great. Minnesota is not really far from here so ground shipping should have it here next day. Thank you very much.


On a side note, I love this board. There are so many people willing to help out.

Hey, Sorry. After talking ti a few people I decided to keep him. But I'm glad you got one. So far pretty he is pretty boaring in a 55 but I might put him in something smaller soon. Again I apoligise for the mind change

The mantis was introduced into his new tank at 2:30 p.m. He looks great, and is around 3in. I will try to post up some pics by this weekend.
