Ewwww. Steve, I don't think that thing would be tasty BBQ'd... But then again, I am allergic to shrimp. smile.gif

Uhm, that looks like a mighty animal you've got there, Darren. Is that a pet or bodyguard? I hear those mantis are quite strong.
After my husband saw Brad's, he kinda thought he might like one in the future. lol

Jeanna, if Andy decides he wants one, I have some spares.

Darren, it's not that I'm jealous, I just wish Allen had banned you from the store when I asked him to. Then maybe it would be MY mantis!! :D
I have mine pre-ordered already. Should be in before next summer -lol
