What's up with the new "Mantis" fad?!
Hey, what's up everyone! I'm just trying to understand a bit more on why more and more people nowadays are looking to purchase, looking into owning these Mantises, mantids, Chinese mantodea, whatever you want to call them! Does anybody other than myself find wanting to own these a bit strange and weird? I mean after all, aren't they just praying mantis' with some having a funky side to them? If so, why does it appear that some folks are paying quite a few dollars for some? Not to sound obnoxious, but its almost like someone paying unnecessary money for a black widow while living in the northeast, in the summertime. If anyone wants a mantis, I won't mind making a few bucks, just contact me! I had 2 giants on top of one another on the top of my mailbox a few days ago... I'm sure they're around here somewhere still! Same with walking sticks, it looks like these things would be the most boring things to keep. Am I right or am I wrong, please feel free to sound off! I'm not being rude, I don't like these bugs because I don't know all that much about them to be honest. With that said, please enlighten me and try to change my views! I've been offered these weird Chinese versions by two different friends now, declined both offers, but are they worth it, who has and who actually thinks they are cool, what do they eat as a main staple in their diet? Thanks.
