Hi, I haven’t been on in awhile! So, my 18th birthday was this Thursday, and found out my school band trip is cancelled and school is closed until the 27th blah, blah—basically lots of bad news on such a special day. But what I cared most about were the mantis nymphs I had ordered which were...

She did beautifully, thought I would share! She was really cooking up something special... can’t believe she had those massive wings trapped inside those buds for so long!

Hello, I got her back in September (she had just molted in her enclosure at the store which is why I picked her!) She hasn’t molted since then. Is that a normal amount of time? She’s only my second giant Asian, because my first died of unknown causes. My cat eye has molted at least four times...

The BBF’s I ordered came packaged wrong so almost all the pupae had hatched, and the pupae that weren’t hatched never did. So I need to go to petsmart instead, but their crickets aren’t in good conditions.   Are there risks with roaches like there are  crickets? Or are they a healthy and...

What are your favorite species based on experience?

Are there any mantis species with particularly low cannibalistic tendencies that can stay together , as long as properly fed ?

Got an L1 Devil in the mail, and it’s been a few weeks and she suddenly dropped dead. I’ve never tried to raise such a young mantis, so I blame my inexperience. I was a bit impulsive unfortunately. I fed her quite a few fruit flies, but I’m wondering if I didn’t feed her frequently enough. I...

Equal parts impressed and sad haha my big girl nibbles on me frequently but she bit me twice today hard enough to draw blood. She hasn’t eaten in a few days, is that just a sign that she’s hungry? I’m just waiting on pupae to hatch any day now. I’m hoping that’s all it is because she usually...

So I’m finally switching to a fly diet as opposed to crickets. I bought 150 pupae, and I’m just wondering how I hatch them? Will they hatch into maggots or will they be full-on flies? These might be dumb questions but I know nothing about this lol.

My collection of coincidentally all girlies 😁 I checked out a camera from my photography class, granted it’s still not the impeccable quality I see from a lot of you on here, it’s better than my phone 😋 I’m expecting an idolomantis in the mail soon, here’s to hoping it’s a female as well lol

Hey everyone, recently I've noticed some strange marks on my Giant Asian’s eyes, and I’m wondering if anyone happens to know what’s causing them and if it’s something benign or malignant.

I just wanted to share this shot I got of Maze. Fear the stick ÒvÓ

Hi everyone! I’m new to the hobby, started about 3 months ago. I have a Giant Asian, a Giant African Stick, and a Ghost. I’m a girl from Minnesota, and a senior in high school, so probably significantly younger than a lot of folks on here lol. Thanks for having me.

I’m somewhat new to the hobby, so I’m just trying to understand what caused his death. He was completely fine one minute, then very sick the next.  The day after he ate, I found him on the floor of his cage. He was completely limp—couldn’t even keep his head up. He progressively got worse over...
