Out of curiosity, what is done to them?

They are made to fast for 5 or 6 days so that their intestine will be clean, then left to disgorge themselves using rock salt, which will make them issue a lot of foam, so you'll have to wash them several times in the process.
Bon appétit! *Grrr*

He just got up in the middle of the class and went outside to catch it and when he came back in everyone was staring at him LOL! He kept it and took it home over break. During the break it suddenly died on him but he had noticed it left a little egg sack in the aquarium. He disregarded it until one morning when he saw these little green flakes on a curtain.
Then he realized that the egg had hatched and the whole house was full of thousands of baby mantises!! His parents where pissed LOLOL. He said they all died
