Jeff I believe they only eat when they are hungry. I have observed mine eating at the opening of her burrow and I can tell you they take their time. I assume your mantis brought the krill into the burrow to munch on at her leisure as mine has done

Hey Joe how do you think a Mantis would do with a Rockwall? would it try to destroy it do you think? Or climb out? Just wondering.

it was known as rocket city which i am sure he is well aware of. when i was in the base camp we would watch Ben Cat get the sh-t bombed out of them. Did he get to Lai Khe plaza much

Lola was rather reclusive today and tonight when I went to feed her she had maneuvered this rock in front of her burrow and did not respond to the feeding stick I am assuming she is getting ready to molt

He made it to the plaza every once in a while... But he spent most of his time in the jungle searching for the rockets that gave Lai Khe its nickname.

Does he remember guys wearing black berets and red and dark blue 75th Airborne Ranger Infantry Company scroll above the Big Red One patch.

He said he might have seen the black berets but doesn't remember seeing at 75th patch above the Big Red One.
