    I hear they taste good too... If you go to a Japanese restaurant, order Shako, its mantis shrimp.

    Doubt that any one in there right mind would try feeding that "bad boy" by hand , LOL.

    But the other shot does look good , might see bout the japenese place up the road see if they offer that .

    Not too sure what I'm gonna do with em... my LFS said he wouldn't take em....

    Will try a couple of more to see if they'd take it....

    There are hermits in the trap getting the bait? If so, they may lure it in with some live food. Unless, they are much bigger than it.
