Scorpions require less care than shrimps... in my opinion. I got two in their 3rd instars in a delicup for the moment, then I will switch them to a Rubbermaid shoebox once they enter the final instar.
Mantis are cool and all, but damn, I can't spend money on something that'll only live a year max. I'd have to get them breeding. Or get a colony of those Violin mantis.
yea, i hear you, i got this one cheap though as she was deformed in her final shedding.
i think she is expecting though as her abdomen is swollen swice its size and also the fact that its gone bright pinky red in places to!
in the first three pics, thats when i htink she is pregnant, the last one is a before pic
