Got bored and decided to add some more rubble to her tank. Where i saw her cleaning out her burrow and used the iPod Nano to take a short video of her.

I made another one its a little bit better...i guess. Still getting use to using this odd iPod, lol.

Thats neat. I love how they gather clumps of CC and then kind of "throw" it out of the burrow. I have a Ipod nano 5g as well, awkward at times-with the placement of the lens, but it actually takes decent video for what it is.

Aside from how it kills i love how it constructs their burrow. Especially this particular mantis since she's pretty docile. The Nano is hard to get any bloody resolution unless you literally press it against the tank, lol. I wanted to take a longer video but there were moment she just stayed in side. Eyeing me likely thinking stalker...lol Shrugs.
