This is my tale:
I was surfing around on www.reefs.org and ran across a guy in FL with a pair of Mantis shrimp. When I find a good pic, I'll send one... anyway. I emailed the guy.
Basically asking if anyone closer'd talked to him about them. Nope. I was first in line. The question du jour was how to ship the little SOB. It was settled on two day. He shipped Tues, I was expecting it today.
Since the box containing my Mantis was SUPPOSED to be here today, I didn't try and track it till this AM...
Hmmm, says it was delivered... 10:27, no signature... I was HERE at 10:27 and there wasn't a box anywhere to be found! I looked around the side yard, on the front porch, next to the front porch.
I checked the neighbor's house (3642 dyslexia y'know...) No box there either.
Went on the website again... Yup. Delivered.
Called the PO. Got a computer. Called the local #.
In talking to the local rep, I figured out that today's the TENTH! the delivery confirmation says the NINTH.
Where's the #$%$# box? Oh, no! Don't tell me the idiot postman put it in the mailbox!!
Yup, that's where it was all right. I opened the box feverishly. I expected to see red X-s over its beady little eyes and have it floating around in the bag.
That's what I saw at first. Poked the bag...
HEY THERE'S MOVEMENT! Hot Dog! Its ALLLLIIIIIVVVVEEEE!
Woo Hoo!
Its about 2" and a cool-looking purple color with orange legs.
I've tried to get pics, but they're not coming out well enough to see it.
Its been clicking away since last night... Hunting something.
