Want to Borrow: Mantis Trap

[jawwad2004]

Apparently I have one of these SOB's in my tank. Can anyone be courteous enough to let me borrow a trap.

have you ever seen thr trace of him? When and how it get into your system you think.

could use any plastic bottle (i used a rectangle bottle so it is easy to balance) cut the top quarter off. invert that piece (quarter) to fit back into the bottle. make sure the hole is big enough to catch the thing you're trying to catch. tie some fishing string to the bottle, bait the trap and wait. i don't know if this works for everyone, but it has worked wonders for me. usually fish and shrimp. never tried catching a mantis with it.
