well, i let my Smithii wack me all the time.

there are only 3 species that have the striking force we so often hear compared to a .22 bullet.

the rest, well, aint as big.

i keep fish and shrimp and all sorts of stuff with my smithii. he aint evil

and, stomatopods have been dethroned.

the fastest animal movement is that of the african trap door ant.

buy cativtion is still cool

you don't need an empty tank to put a mantis in... just don't get too terribly attached to the things you put in before!
