Hi, I have a question. I came back home today to find only one insect in my aquarium. Do you think it's possible that she ate them all?? I have no ther explanation because the aquarium was completely closed. Other than they had dissapeard into thin air. I really have no idea happened.

I was wondering why their singing stopped.

This is the 2nd one I found & released today in nyc - I used to be extremely phobic but I’ve gotten better through exposure. Now I’m able to safely capture them & take them outside without trembling with fear 😆

Nature is brutal. Had to share!

It’s an uneasy feeling when a praying mantis fixes his eye (eyes?) on you.

This is a wasp mantid. They are harmless and stunning and I am trying to collect live ones for research purposes. They are completely harmless to people. They are native to the US and Canada. If anyone catches one PLEASE PLEASE DM me I will pay shipping and extra for the mantid itself.

These arachnids aren't mean. It's just like a bee, unless it feels threatened it won't sting you. The only times I've ever been stung was when one crawled up my leg under my Jeans while I was walking in the yard, and when I had one crawl on my leg while I was repositioning on a couch. That being said, probably don't pet it.

This reminds me of my cats when they think they’re hiding but their tails are sticking out 🤣🤣

What im supposed to do to help her it seems like she's got a broken leg
