Hey guys, I might be able to import a bunch of Preying mantis bugs, and I was thinking of selling them on all the forums.
I think these babys retail for $40, but considering the fact that we will be importing them direct from over seas, i'm sure I could chop that down quite a bit.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in buying some real live preying Mantises??
Those that are the most sucessful are also the biggest failures. The difference between them and the rest of the failures is they keep getting up over and over again, until they finally succeed.

RD, unless they are of a rare type of mantid you can get your
basic praying mantis from most gardening supply stores
pretty cheap because you can by the whole egg cluster.
I think they eat each other a lot as babies though.
not sure.
If you are getting some of the more exotic looking ones then
that would be cool.
I'll trade some racoons for them. or cats. got lot's of cats.

I've seen two or three in real life that I just happened to see. One was when I was walking back from class. It was just sitting there by the edge of the grass. This girl came up behind me and was like "ewww, step on it!" I was like "shut the **** up, *****!" and I turned around and backhanded her across the face.
Just kidding.
But this girl really did come up behind me and go "eww, step on it!" or something like that. I was like, "are you kidding?" Anyway, this mantis was 5 or 6" long and stepping on it would have made a big mess. Besides, I try not to kill bugs, anyway. So I made sure it got into the grass where it would be safe and then I went home.

LOL @ Royce!!
Yeah I think they are the huge African kind I'm going to sell them for 1/2 whatever they retail at. Plus shipping (overnight)
