I play League. :D My name is Honeybadgerlol

Sent me an idolo neatly packed up, active and healthy! The care of the packing is obvious, and the cups the mantises were shipped in didn't budge at all. He is quick to respond, and an all around great and trustworthy guy. He even threw in a free nymph! Thank you, Yen!

LOL, that got me laughing. .And I think what you are doing is wonderful. She looks cozy! :sleeping: Bugmom of the year award, haha!

Look at those antennae!

That is way too cool!! What's it made out of? O_O

Hi everyone! I know it's been ages since I posted, but I wanted to share some pictures of my girly, Umbra, chillin' on my hand. She's very docile and fun to watch. Such an awesome little creature, I love her to bits, hehehe. That's all for now!

That is waaaay too cute. xD

Thank you, Patrick! Here's her in her little cage after molting. You can still see her skin on the ground! The light is not for heat, just a little lamp, although my room is a little cool. I got crafty with a betta fish tank and added some moss for substrate and glued a leaf background too.

The hatchlings are SO CUTE! Ahh! I love the big head on the tiny body. :wub: Great pictures and great camera.

Thanks for the responses! And I'm so glad to see you remembered me, Phil. ^_^ My Chinese mantis has a nice and happy run, and definitley would not be my last! Thank you for the tips though. I was quite clueless when it came to the pupae. I'm taking Phil's advice and leaving some out, since...

I recently ordered a single l5 ghost nymph from GreenOasis as well as a couple of BB pupae. I don't really have much experience raising the flies, and I'm a little clueless as to "activate" the pupae. :huh: So I have a couple questions regarding them How long does it take for the pupae to...

I ordered a single ghost from her as well as some pupae. ^_^ Carey was just delightful. I'm new to mantids in general, and she was patient and ordered every little nagging question I had. :lol: She was so helpful, and even corrected me for the appropriate size fly I should get for my ghost...

How much for a single one? :)
