mantis can not tell time.....

[little leaf]

I knew when ALL the Jax in the big f/r were at the bottom this AM, something was up - they were all fine yesterday- at first I was like WHAT is wrong w/ all these chams I pick up one of the girls, and found out what all the chams were doing down there- Mantis can not tell spring from winter - these hatched WAYYYYYYYYY early , well..... a nice yummy snack for the Jax the f/r is COVERED in mantis babies ( and so are the Jax )

no, I wont collect any, I have no fr/ flies for them- but the ooth are scattered all thew the f/r - some in the hotter part, some in the cooler parts ( and some are still outside freezing ) - so they hatch at dif times, but they are there for them to eat, but I do try to grab some to grow for the bigger guys, but this one hatched so early, so its a early free for all I order f/f in Feb or March , thats when the Jax start to drop the babies and when they first start to hatch - I think this is going to be a weird yr already

Cheryl that are a lot of things I did not teach you. You always say how well I have instructed you, but I did not teach you to make babies go out into the world to find food, because you didn't feed them. Bad, bad mommy. But you are so creative.
