My last remaining Budwing. 1 year and 10 months. The other 3 passed away recently. I picked up a few Hierodula Membranacea in May. These guys have long legs =) 

Thanks guys. I make sure not to overfeed them and I give them water daily. I'm still shocked that they're doing so well despite old age. 

My budwing mantids are close to 18 months old. Is this unusual for this species?

Osfigueroajr is a great person to do business with. The nymphs were packaged very well and he even threw in a few extras. Very fast shipping time as well. Thanks!

Nice mantids. Here's a picture of one of mine:

Oh I know. I was comparing my budwings to the giant african mantis. I own both species.

Gorgeous mantids. Very cool to be able to see the progress on those little guys.

Wow the pre-sub is way bigger than my adult budwings. Awesome pic.

Thanks guys. I thought my budwings were aggressive, but even they were not this bold when they were nymphs lol.

While attempting to feed my Budwing mantis, I accidentally dropped a mealworm near a Giant African nymph and this is what happened: I thought it would run away for sure since it's still so small. These guys are going to be very interesting to watch when they're bigger...

Thanks for the nymphs Patrick! I'll post more pictures when they're bigger.

My first large mantis species. :)

Very cool pictures especially the last one. I hope to add a few carolina mantids to my collection one day.

Purchased some Sphodromantis viridis nymphs from Patrick. They shipped quickly and were well packaged. He even threw in a couple of extras. Great communication throughout the shipping process. Thanks again Patrick!
