To start off.....here's my first picture I took on my last trip to Singapore (13th April 2004) - The cosy Tropical Hotel where Baq and myself stayed! :D I guess Baq and Raffi was attracted to the hotel by that banner offering discounted rates :lol:

It was half past midnight........ ;)

Note: If I remembered correctly, Raffi was quite surprised that Baq and I spend quite a bit of time taking pictures of this lizard rather than the Swissotel which is just behind us! :lol: .....oh if ya look carefully - the lizard have something in its mouth! :eek:

Bleah. I was anxious that we would miss the entrance time to get to the top of the Swissotel :D

Wah great pics! Brings back memories especially of the omelette. I remember the yellow spider on your camera case :D P

PS: I was dead tired on that first night. I think we got home at about 4am after that long walk in the wilderness!

I found the answers... :eek:

> Can you tell a male from a female mantis?

The abdomen of the mantis has several segments. The male mantis, which is usually smaller than the female, has eight segments in its abdomen. The female has only six. The female also has a tube called an ovipositor for laying eggs.


> What are their mating practices?

Autumn is the time of mating for mantises in temperate climates. The male mantis which is usually smaller than the female must be cautious in approaching potential partners, or they will end up as meals rather than mates. Any mantis will eat another mantis if it gets a chance, and mating females are no exception to this rule.

A male usually approaches a female from behind and climbs onto her back, holding on with his front legs. Then be bends the tip of his abdomen under to join the tip of the female's abdomen. Sperm cells pass from the male's body to the female's, where they are stored in a special chamber in her abdomen.

Even after a male mantis has mated with a female, he is not safe from her tremendous appetite. Females often seize their partners and devour them as soon as they have finished mating. In fact, they sometimes attack the males during the mating act. Males do not resist these attacks and even try to finish their tasks before they are eaten by their ferocious mates.

wah so bad you guys kill them :cry:
As for my place, the red ants won't enter my house one..even when it was raining they would only nest under the roof. We actually brought them from my uncles orchard and let them nest in our fruit trees. Since then we never had any beetles and grasshopper problems anymore. I even feed them sausages. :)

interesting... you meant the ants ate the beetles and grasshoppers???? :eek:

huh why are huddling ants so touching?? i'd just get freaked out that there were that many ants in the first place.

last night a giant giant giant giant army ant i'd never seen before attacked my foot. i stomped on it about 20 times at least? it was still crawling!@£@£!@£!£@! but i guess spraying it with gatsby super hard set&keep spray killed it. that was at sun plaza park.
