I've been drying dead of mine of a while now. When I get some doubles I could let you know, shipping from over sees shouldn't be an issue other than they would have to be let dry first and the shipping cost. But whats the shipping on a few dead Mantids really.

Looking for a Fresh adult or Subadult Creobroter gemmatus. Cash, or trade for Creobroter gemmatus or Pseudocreobotra wahlbergii Subadult females (both species should be molting soon to adult).

It could be, I know my group of 2,1 has been living together for the last 3 weeks and the males still attempt to mate every 3-5 days. I don't know if or how many connections have been made. But their still going strong.

Thank you both for your replies. It's good to know that as long as he's not eaten by one of his mates he should live to mate with them all.

I've only breed a pair of mantids so far. The male molted out yesterday and has been kept cool. About how long do Males of this species live once adult? It would be nice if he makes it to breed with all four of my females. The last of the two are about 2-3 weeks from molting while one molted...

Looking for Nymps, Subadult pairs/groups, or Ooths of the following species. Blepharopsis mendica (Devils Flower) Deroplatys lobata (dead Leaf) Idolomorpha lateralis Zoolea spec. If you have any available and are willing to ship to Germany Please PM me with Price and shipping cost.

Well, today it's apparent that the wings have hardened. Shes unable to properly fold them, though everything else seems fine. I hope this won't affect her ability to feed and breed.

Just a quick question that I haven't found answered before. My female ghost molted to adult today, though not without problems. I found her shortly after on the ground and got her to hang from a branch and she looks to be doing fine. But her wings are still pale even after 3 hours. About how...

I ordered a pair of Budwings from Daniel about a week back, needless to say they came in perfect health. I was so impressed by the fast shipping and professional attitude I've placed another order. An would do any time in the future.

I can't say for the Uk but here one guy has 10 for 20 euro. That would be just about 12.5 pounds. A fair price if you ask me.

It really doesn't matter. The temps are the thing to watch, high temps are good but any thing over 28C will leave most the males infertile.

Just thought I'd stop in to say hi. I'm a CA transplant thats been living in Germany the last 8 years. I just started keeping mantids again since I was a kid. I keep and breed a bunch of reptiles though; cornsnakes, BP, carpets, monitors, and other inverts. My first mantid to start me off again...

Nice looking sarrs mine haven't started comming up this year till last week, it's just been too cold.
