Re: d
Someone once got too smart and put Praying Mantis "egg sacks" in as a food item in one of their tanks. A great idea really... tiny little food that the frogs can nail as soon as they come out of the egg sack.
Unless one survives and grows up. A story has occasionally circulated about someone looking into a tank in horror to find a Praying Mantis snacking on a Retic like it was eating a chicken leg.
Brent Brock may recall the source of the story (I heard this on FrogNet), I don't.
So... if you're trying to avoid having frogs getting eaten (by anoles), I'm not sure a Praying Mantis is any better for your purpose.
