    That looks like a mantis from hell...maybe it's just the picture i dunno. Or the photographer :p Wait...did I say that? :D

    Good riddence. However, when you see a giant mantis come up your toilet to seek its revenge, don't come crying to us. :D

    Hopefully he does not jump out of the Toilet Bowl and give you a good flick on some part of your body that would make any grown man cry. I have a lot of reptiles and my girlfriend lost a snake, it ended up coming out of the bath tub spicket, while she was bathing!!

    An eye for an eye. You should have bit something off him before he got the "FLUSH". Really teach him a lesson. I would have just fed him to my clownknife in my freshwater tank!!

    Yep, just cover the rock in plain old ro water (no salt) and then watch that bugger come scurrying out, just watch it don't jump out onto your face, like a scene from aliens,,, lol only joking...

    Just curious...did you actually see the mantis kill your fish or are you just assuming that it did so? I ask because it's rare for a smashing mantis to go after fish, especially in a tank full of easy prey (snails and crabs). Again, I'm assuming it's a smasher?
