Roaring Biscuit!

... they grew in stages like Pokemon and only ate live prey, which they had killed themselves.

THESE ARE ME BABBIES:



Above one is slightly smaller, and less agressive, I'm thinking the fucker might be male, it's also a few days behind the other moulting-wise.  Those blurry crickets in the background are fucked.

Below is the larger, who has just moulted.  Fairly sure its female, just 'cause it's so aggressive and pissy:





They're congo green mantids, and they fucking rock.  Although keeping a writhing box of live crickets took some getting used to :)  Also, they are fucking adorable when you pick them up, 'cause their long range depth perception ain't so great they start waving their arms at shit that *might* be close to them.  Generally it's a good idea to give them something to climb onto though, otherwise they start jumpin'.

Before anyone goes there, only a small number of female Mantis species out of 100s of 1000s actually kill the male during sex, and even then mostly in captivity. 

Though, that may be bad news for Roaring Biscuit's samples.

Normally bugs as pets kind of irks me, but for some reason these little fellas seem more wholesome.

Despite the fact that they're vicious little monsters.

"Despite?" That's the charm, right there.

If Luna was a furry, she'd sex humans and scream "BEASTIALITY!" at the top of her lungs at inopportune times.

Awww.

The level of anthropomorphism I'm attributing to the apparent smile in that last pic is making me seriously consider raising some of these.

A really cute mantis hitched a ride with us out of Burning Man... I called her Marla.

Thanks all, I'm a very proud mother/father figure :P
