Hey synapze! Does this bad boy/girl happen to be from the ooth I sent you? Looks nice!

That's a lot of ooths! Welcome and good luck

My ideal would be to ship him to someone with female twigs in trade for an ooth. Will consider other trades as well as selling. Make an offer!

She ate him... I feel kinda bad... I hope he was able to transfer the goods!

By sheer luck a coworker of mine found a male S. limbata and caught him for me. I am proud to say that after a few hours the copulation is currently in progress! Short video

Oh, wow. That's too bad 😕

Yesterday, I received my first ever ghost mantis ootheca in the mail. I was surprised to find inside 4 nymphs had hatched en route to me. While this was exciting, I did not expect them to hatch for a couple of weeks at least and I had only melanogaster FFs on hand. I was worried the FFs would be...

So, for whatever reason, I guess I stupidly created two accounts: this one and @fren.  Recently I have been trying to post in the for sale/wanted section but I would never get approved. I contacted support, but then I realized that the reason my posts were not going through was because I had...

Thanks for the tip! *Quick edit: they are sold out ]:

Is this S. carolina? I'd also pay $5-10!  More importantly, if you have an extra male I would be interested in buying him as well! Can't seem to find any males around here...

Hey @Mitch65009, Did she ever lay for you?

Thank you for the warm welcome @hysteresis I look forward to learning and growing with the community. It's like a whole new world in here!
