OMG!! I am in love. That was the coolest thing ever, the baby eating off your finger was wonderful. Now you may as well put all the babies, Jacksons & mantids in a box and send them to me. So I will never clean house or cook again, who cares when I could watch those babies all time. maybe at least more video's to keep me going??

I agree that was a very cool video. They were shooting at them from long distances too.

I am a female and still you are hitting below the belt. Wait you said little quads -- all the little quads went to their new homes, so box and sent the Jacksons. YEA, YEA, YEA

Oh how adorable! I remember when my little Pepper was that size, well he's big now and still cute, but babies are the best

It just doesn't get any cuter than a baby jackson. better be setting aside a male for me. Another broken promise to myself.

Awesome video. I liked the one that snuck up WAY close and pretty much hit the mantid and pushed it out and then back in cuz he was so close.

 

[apondozzi]

what type of mantids were those?

 

[jdog1027]

I got them from a fellow forum member who said they are Chinese mantids.
