Mist twice a day up to L4, then once a day should be enough. Good ventilation is also key - Last week

Just a suggestion, though not sure if it's possible for the admins to do- making the care sheets alphabetized would help find people find what they're looking for a bit faster, instead of having the topics organized by date of creation. Just a little suggestion!

Odontomantis spp. (Ant Mantis)

I looked it up and it says medium humidity so make sure to not have too little or too much. In order to have medium humidity I would suggest instead of having a completely closed container with substrate to instead have mesh on top with substrate, therefore giving breathing space. Anyone, correct me if I am wrong. -

About what humidity specifically would you recommend? -
All this talk about Orchid mantids make me want to try raising them again!

I finally got permission to make an Instagram account for my macro photographs. I'm out of space on the forum to post pics, so if you want to check out my macro photos, my Instagram username is galaxymacros

Nooooooo. Not for beginners. Beginners always overspray.

Popa spurca (Twig Mantis)

I agree, but it's easier to under mist than over mist. -
Easy to hand feed. Easy keeping too, bc they dont want too much humidity. On the flip side though, beginners tend to overmist and that hurts them more than most.

Popa spurca (Twig Mantis)

Honestly, I think this species is one of the best beginner species. -
And we’re back! Hoping to start raising some mantids during this time! Hope all are well!

Hi Folks, I hope you are all keeping well and doing your thing, here's the Ghost Orchid! Phaleanopsis meets Phyllocrania.

I'm so excited! I just got accepted into the dual enrollment program at my local high school! This means that when I start my sophomore year of high school in the fall, I will also be doing work at Delaware County Community College, and I'll graduate with an associate's degree!

I have several sub adult female ghosts. How long has your males had their wings?
-
Amazing shot! -
Hey! Saw your post! Not totally sure if we’ve done business before on here or maybe through the facebook groups but anyway here is my stock list;
Orchids L6/pre-sub female (1 left)
Theopropus Elegans (banded flower mantis) L2/3
Rhombodera Basalis L2/3
Sphodromantis Lineola L3/4(3 left!)
Rhombodera Valida L3/4
might also end up having Hestiasula Major in stock in the coming weeks but that’s no guarantee. Let me know what interests you!

The worst way to wake up on your birthday: (thinking) "I wonder if the twig mantids I was mating last night ever connected?" Waiting five minutes to get out of bed, look in the cage, and the male is headless and in the female's claws.
I if I hadn't waited five minutes he would have been fine and I could have separated them right away. I don't even know if they connected, but they were mounted for at least 48 hours straight.
