Nammy, How is the Mantis?

[Linda C.]

How is the little guy doing?

Here is a site that Anthony Calfo suggested to me when I had a few questions. The Lurker's Guide to Stomatopods. http://www.blueboard.com/mantis/

Hi Linda,
I haven't been on the site for a while. Been busy with all the projects I've started and see no where in sight of completing.

The mantis is doing great. I just don't know what I should do with the hermit’s empty shells?


Keith, The colt is a “B” to attach to a rock. :mad2:
Although I think I've done it, finally! It’s been 4 days now since I crazy glued it to a rock.

Nammy,
If all else fails, just wedge the base of it in between a few peices of liverock. It may not look too happy for a couple days while it adjusts to being pinched between the rocks....but it will adjust itself and start attaching to the rocks you've wedged it between.
I never had a problem using the toothpick method with my colt, but my capnella(Kenya tree) gave me problems. I did the wedging thing about a week ago now...and its starting to attach itself to the rock finally.
Good luck with it,
Dan
