    Thanks! How long could it be befor he goes exploring the entire tank or is there a chance he never will and I'll have a $50 critter I have to look at crouched over and with a light?

    I think Bucky may be dead. He's been on his back in the same position since this afternoon and not moving anything I can see. Usually when the light hits him I can see his eyes move or he somersaults away from it, something but for about the past 10 hours he hasn't moved at all.

    There's 18 pages, and I'm new here, so I'm not sure who bucky is. But if it's the mantis, and he's on his back, he's not going to make it, I'm sorry to say.

    About how big is Bucky? Looks tiny in the pic. Nice colors though.

    You will NEVER find a healthy mantis on his back. I'm so sorry.
