Gorgeous Stoma you got there!! LOVE mantis!

Think this forum is a great addition!!

I had one for a while...but she died. (I think from brain freeze. I didn't let the Mysis cube thaw out all the way. She went RIGHT too it. Pulled it in close...then began freaking out in a way I've never seen ANY critter freak out.

Swishing/swirlin/swimming/darting ALL over the place. After about an hour of this, she calmed down. But the next morning, I found her dead.

Was really getting attached too. But if I can find a male peacock somewhere, thinking about setting up another mantis tank.

But seriously...beautiful specimen you have there!!
