What do I do? I don't have any live insects to feed it and this isn't one of those big, large preying mantises. This thing is like a centimeter long. I think it likes me.

If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it was meant to be. If it doesn't...
hunt it down and kill it. |

Our local nursery has the egg cases for sale. You can get 200 mantises for $5. They are good for the garden and fun to watch.

Throw it on your monitor and take some Break.com vids of it chasing your mouse cursor around. INSTANT CASH!!!

Let me clarify. I purchased the insect from a childhood friend, someone I used to babysit. She needed money for a school trip and to raise money they're selling mantises. Well, I just set it free. We had a bond, me and this little insect. I will miss it.

First of all, everyone here who is giving you crap about wasting 3 dollars is probably willing to lie and say they never wasted 3 bucks on anything dumber. I'd take it and turn it loose in the fanciest place to eat in town
just to see what happens |
|
I think their cool little animals. I have no clue how'd you feed it... sooo I guess setting it free wasn't a bad idea....

Is it illegal to kill a praying mantis?
No. Praying mantises are common insects and are not protected by law in Pennsylvania. charge someone 6 bucks to murder it |
|
You should have kept it and fed it small crickets from the pet store. They are amazing bugs.
IM me this summer, and I'll sell you a 4 inch one for $300. plus shipping. |
|
I have a herd of them here. Do you have any gullible friends?

HE DIDNT BUY IT BECAUSE HE THOUGHT IT WAS COOL! HE BOUGHT IT TO SEND A LITTLE GIRL ON A FIELD TRIP!
now with that said you should have ut it in a jar and feed it lady bugs. |
|
I llike what yah did with my pic. |
|
Wait... so you paid $3 for a bug... and you use the metric system?
FAIL! |
|
Hey !! For another 3 bucks I am sure that I can round up a few Florida cockroaches for you to feed it.

For $3 it should be big enough to rape. too bad it wasnt a box of rape |

I had a mantis over 6 inches long fly into my truck. It was free.
My daughter was young at the time and still talks about it. And, NO, it wasn't because I screamed like a little girl. The thing was fricken huge! |
|
Ummm.....you know you could have gone outside and gotten one for free....right?
