metrokat Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I wish I could get just one good picture of the mantis to post. Everything I take is crap wrapped in crap and sprinkled with you guessed it...CRAP! You can fly me down, I'll bring the camera. Link to comment

M@! Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I'll be out there the weekend of the 13th. I've been training my peacock to not attack my finger. I'll try and get a pic tomorrow. Link to comment
LongPig Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 We fly.I'll bring my cat-o-nine as well okay. What's that? A 20 minute flight? I'll be out there the weekend of the 13th. I've been training my peacock to not attack my finger. I'll try and get a pic tomorrow. I'm definitely in. I need good pics. Link to comment
Rollermonkey Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I've been training my peacock to not attack my finger. I would like to know two things: How do you do this? How many times has it failed the lesson? Link to comment
LongPig Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 I would like to know two things: How do you do this? How many times has it failed the lesson? One additional question. How many fingers do you have left? Link to comment

patback Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 +1 That is really ####ing awesome. I was waiting to just see a giant cloud of blood at any second. I'm surprised. Link to comment
MeepNand Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 +1 I have seen this before. I think he got an arm-paralyzed mantis or something. Too incredible to believe. Link to comment
LongPig Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 Both of those vids are awesome. I agree though, something is up with that zebra. Link to comment
CrownOfficial Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 One day I'll build myself a Mantis tank. theyre awesome! Link to comment
LongPig Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 One day my threads will be as cool as Kat's. Probably not... Link to comment
M@! Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 The Zebra video is what gave me the idea. I guess it makes sense that it can't spear. I'm just an idiot and stick my hand in the tank like the second video. I love the instant camera drop and god damn it! She hasn't hit me yet, I guess I should be video taping this. One day my threads will be as cool as Kat's. Probably not...I think you have to wear heels for that to happen. Link to comment
LongPig Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 Yeah you should definitely be recording it. Link to comment
Rollermonkey Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Yeah you should definitely have someone with you recording it in case you need medical attention and to keep the camera steady so we can see the actual moment when it #u(k$ you up. FTFY Link to comment
LongPig Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 What he said...I said...ummm...yeah... Link to comment
M@! Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 hahah. I'll setup a tripod. I don't think my fiance would be able to hold the camera steady if she actually attacks me. I just fed her yesterday and haven't see her out of her burrow today. The closest I've gotten is probably an 1" away. Maybe 2", it probably feels closer than it actually is. Link to comment
Rollermonkey Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I guess the question is does yours have hammers or spears? Link to comment
M@! Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 It's a female peacock, hammers. Link to comment
