Don't pick up a praying mantis and put it close to your face, it will lunge at it's reflection in your eyeballs.

[QUOTE=hypno-toad;26238136]My Agnostic Mantis is better.[/QUOTE]
I need context for this or my brain will implode
name the lizard paul and the mantis chesterfield snapdragon mcfisticuffs
Name the mantis Recanthanai, and if you're naming the lizard, name it Serenthanai.
You shouldn't make it fight the lizard, it could hurt it, make it fight other bugs, bugs can't feel pain, lizards can.
i once caught two and fed them by a constanct stream of fruitflies coming from a rotten slice of banana in their enclosure
i left the top open and they all excaped - free to be wild :buddy:
Put it on your penis and tell me how it feels.
[QUOTE=Squad;26238025]The reason why the praying mantis + lizard didn't do anything is because the praying mantis eats INSECTS. A lizard isn't an insect. It isn't that it's full, it doesn't want it because that lizard doesn't appear as food to the praying mantis.[/QUOTE]
Actually, you're wrong.

[quote]Large mantises will even eat nestling, humming birds and tree frogs. Their digestive systems have the capacity to handle even lizards, tiny rodents and juvenile snakes[/quote]

no, seriusly, name the mantis Luis Alberto Jr. or something like that.
Reminds me of the time when I was 8 or something and I brought home some cocoon looking thing from school or something. Well during that night about 20 god dam Praying Mantises hatched out of that fucker and were all over my fucking room.
As for a name of you guy, I have no idea.
I have a badass blue-tongue lizard who chills out on my computer modem, (cause its warm) He catches and devours march flies and mosquitoes for me:buddy:
Now then it's been brought up. . . Please name it Scyther it's the closest we'll ever get to owning pokemon. . .
Name the lizard Reptar and the mantis Samson The Great.
Name her Helga...So you can go "HELGA HUNGRY?!?!"
The female may start feeding by biting off the male’s head (as they do with regular prey), and if mating had begun, the male’s movements may become even more vigorous in its delivery of sperm.
Just Saying. Anyway name it Barry

For the love of all that is holy, do this.
The picture with lizard climbing out on top of the ditch on the paper towel is just asking for a caption.
Name it Psycho Mantis.
Kill the mantis and raise/train the lizard
Name it something stereotypically related to China.
Like Communism.
Why don't we have these type of cool insects in Norway :( Found a praying mantis while on vacation in Greece, and I was all like "JESUS CHRIST A PRAYING MANTIS!". I also spent 1 hour hunting a big lizard, but he/she eventually got away.
Where do you live by the way?
