while checking up on my pregnant female ghost today, i found the male in a weird position. i took him out and it turns out he is dying, he will just lay in any position i put him in and will not eat anything, i have even tried to give him meat, but he's not chomping. the only sign of life is...

ghosts are finally breeding!! i will tell the people who pm'd me when i get the ooths and will make a thread of who's getting how many etc stay tuned :lol:

As my male paradoxa moulted to adult yesterday, and my female's moult is coming up soon, who would be interested in ooths in a few week's time? It will be first come first served, so since hibiscussmile has already PM'd me, if I only get one ooth, it will be hers ^-^ so send some PM's, I'll...

i went up to my room to find my mantis molting into adult :blink: he's got everything out of the old skin except for the back bit (where the wing covers are going to be) and now is just hanging there, rarely moving. is this normal? will post updates

I dont know if I've told anyone on here this before but I am (sometimes :P ) a volunteer worker in the beetles section of the museum. I work behind the scenes, labelling old collections moving specimens etc. It's got one of, if not the biggest insect collections in the world, and today I...

Can these be kept together? i've always wanted some :rolleyes:

This is one of the UK's biggest bug fairs and i cant wait for it! entomological supplies, dried insects, and of course live bugs! should be plenty of mantids! anyone going? or thinking of setting up their own stall? details and form for setting up stall can be found here...

(I tried the search function to no avail) Ok so, you know those cube-shaped net cages that people say are good for mantids? where can you get them in the uk? :blink:

Anyone got one? I'm getting an (unsexed :mellow: ) froglet next week just finished the viv, but dropped loads of substrate on the floor :P
