[@ClausCarnivores]

nice video, well explained :)

I'm looking forward to part two .I often like to butcher the odd Latin name 😂

[@themantisgarden]

You're one of the few that gets them right more often than not lol

[@tarantularamblings3149]

@@themantisgarden I am amazed ,though I improve the odds by not even attempting some of the really nonsensical ones 😅

[@themantisgarden]

Noticed that lol The one I hate the most is the Americans when they say Chill-O-brackis 😂 Makes me want to "chil" them lol

[@JayCWhiteCloud]

I'm constantly sending folks to "Google Translate" then go to "Latin" put in the scientific name and actually hear it pronounced correctly (or at least better than most college professors...LMAO!) Great video...!!!!

[@themantisgarden]

I had to learn some Latin in school back in the day and now it annoys me when I hear it spoken incorrectly! Thank you.

[@JayCWhiteCloud]

@@themantisgarden Same here..I had 3 years of it in school...Then I got to college and listened to it butchered by those who should know better, and worse...!!!...they would argue they are pronouncing it correctly...???...I love the new computer translators. Though not perfect they are way better at it than most for teaching the proper pronunciation...Thanks again for posting this video...

[@themantisgarden]

The one I hate the most is when people use an Italian accent when they speak Latin 😂

[@JayCWhiteCloud]

@@themantisgarden Yes...!!!...and sadly the computer voice that Google uses for Latin sounds very Italiensk...LOL!!!...but better than English accent...I list to both just to get a foundation and it is so funny how accurate the "English" pronciaiton (which is wrong) sounds to how many try to say these names...

[@themantisgarden]

99% of people tend not to realise that loads of words we use ever day are either straight Latin or derived from it so they already know how to pronounce some words by default lol etc, etc.

Can you please make a breeding guide for ghost mantises? I am soon going to get Ghost Mantis nymphs and I'm going to hopefully breed them, but I can't feel anything about breeding ghost mantises

[@themantisgarden]

That a good idea and excuse for a video! I have ghosts here but they're not quite ready for breeding. When they are I will be sure to either make a video or do a live stream. They're really easy to breed and not much to tell about them but I will try my best :)

[@TheInsectKing]

@@themantisgarden also I meant to say find, not feel

[@themantisgarden]

Lmao, I didn't even notice

[@MIsopods]

LEFT A THUMBS DOWN! I came to hear you says things in Latin! Haha. Next episode it is!

[@themantisgarden]

Next one lol

[@JayCWhiteCloud]

@@themantisgarden Hey...When I read this post during coffee this morning...Misopods is correct. It would be a great video if you shared your collection, and their names with both how people say it most commonly and then the proper way to say it...Who knows, you could set trend...LOL!!!

[@themantisgarden]

I will be doing exactly that! I just need to do a little more background work before I do
