lol, it's a "she" if it makes any difference

No. No it doesn't. The Cap'n was also a she. The female is the dealier of the species as they say.

Behold! I dub her Baron Von Face Eats for all time in memory of the Captain!
The Captain still dines upon the souls that exist in Valhalla. Her troops are currently busy depopulating the wildlife in WV, so that means its cool for other Mantids ( Mantisesedssesis?) to handle areas she hasn't put any sleeper agents in for now.

Tremble world! Baron Von Face Eats has arrived wearing the battle standard of Captain Badass.

She hungers for your face

aw she died :(

can you give me any pointers shaowebb? we have her in a large trashcan and put in a paper towel tube and sprayed the inside w/ water. planned on going to the pet store to get her some bugs to eat.

how long did yours live for?

She is eternal. Even now she awaits others to fall in battle so that she may eternally feast upon their ethereal visages (ghost faces!) for eternity.

Anyhow you need a small aquarium for BARON VON FACE EATS. Make certain to get crickets instead of meal worms for BARON VON FACE EATS. Meal worms just kind of saw that Captain and bricks dropped out of their asses. After that they burrowed so deep into the earth to avoid her unbridled malevolence (d'aww soo pwecious) that they couldn't be eaten.

You can mist the aquarium with water from time to time for BARON VON FACE EATS to enjoy since they like to drink things other than blood from all the bleedy bleedums on occasion.

Try to just throw some dirt in there and make certain to pop in an old dry stick that BARON VON FACE EATS can climb or snipe crickets from since BARON VON FACE EATS will likely spend most of her time on the lid of your tank. They like to hang upside down and stare down at there foes 24/7 glaring pure seething hatred into their souls.

ADORABLE!

Also slice a small chunk off a potato and chuck it down in the tank for the crickets to eat. BARON VON FACE EATS will want them to be plump and they last a long time this way. You can get about 20 sacrific...er...crickets for about $2 at any pet store. Also timothy hay pleases mantids (mantuses?) they like to hide and stalk around in it sometimes. Nothing thick mind you or the carnageables will get away. Just a small field for BARON VON FACE EATS to stroll through as she picks up killablies from the field like little flowers that bleed :)

I'll post here from time to time if you need me to. Just say Captain Badass 3 times like they do with candyman and I will appear. Its kind of a curse thing she did to me at her viking funeral. What can you do? Nothing thats what. The Captain lays a curse like that you damned well stay well and damned.

Summon me when needed.
She lived about 4 months but was already an adult at that point who had survived a frost...they usually die then but she did not. Woe befell many because nature failed to do for them what they could not

Thanks for all the info, BARON VON FACE EATS (@_@) appreciates your service.

woah, I don't even remember typing that...
 
So we got her a pretty sweet habitat to live in and also got her some bugs to eat from the store, but she doesn't eat them. I tried to even hold the food up to her face but she just crawls on my hand like she just wants to explore and play.

advice?

She's just waiting for you to fall asleep...

Epic twist to this story. You went from having a bug problem to getting a new pet.

Name her scissors or something. Look up some youtube videos on how to take care of it. there are tons of them there.

Release the wild animal back outside where it was obviously doing just fine feeding itself?

Should I kill it with fire?

I assumed this was a general insect ID thread. Apparently it's a love-in for some mantis.

lol.
 
I'd love to have a mantis, but I very rarely see them around here.

I do raise several species of ants though.

"A tarantula hawk is a spider wasp which hunts tarantulas as food for its larvae. "

Stop the world. I want to go to mars.

One landed on my friend after rafting a few weeks ago and I swatted it off. She gave me a medal.

It's the creature that inspired the Alien lifecycle. They lay their eggs in the paralyzed tarantula, and they eat their way out.
 
so I'm studying at my desk and I pick up my thermos and take a sip, put it down and from the corner of my eye see this thing on my hand. Must have squished it while I drank from the thermos.
