    Well shoot….

    I lost a huge chunk of my collection. The heater in my mantis room malfunctioned and brought my mantis room to 100 degrees, killing most of my mantises. This totally sucks, but it kinda shows that mistakes and malfunctions can happen to everyone.

    Can You Tell If An Ooth Is Fertile Without The Risk Of Killing Any Nymphs?

    This is a question I’m sure many breeders and buyers have asked over the years. This is going to be a long post, so bear with me (I’ll make sure to include photos to keep this from being so boring). Hatched ooths of (from Left to Right) Mantis religiosa (WC), Iris oritoria (WC), and...

    Ceratomantis saussurii

    Native to Borneo, Malaysia, and Thailand, this small boxer mantis has been on my list of species I want to keep but probably will never get the chance to. Recently, however, I was able to finally get my hands on a pair. Really excited to hopefully breed these and help them become available to...

    Acromantis sp. Daklak

    Small Vietnamese boxer mantis. Happy I’m getting the chance to keep these little buggers. I barely have an idea of how these are going to develop, but it is going to be exciting to watch them grow.

    Mismolting

    This is not a thread about worrying about mismolting, it is a thread to show that it happens to everyone. Unfortunately there are times when you can do nothing to help your mantis, but other times there are, and sometimes you could even save a mantis that even you thought there was no hope for...

    Sphodromantis sp. (gastrica?)

    I haven’t seen Sphodromantis available for a while, so when I saw a chance to get some from a friend, I jumped on it. This is an absolutely lovely genera. They are extremely aggressive and beautiful. Unfortunately I only have two females, but I may work with a different friend in the future to...

    Spiny Flower Mantis (Pseudocreobotra wahlbergii)

    Here are some pictures of this wonderful species. I highly recommend these to beginners and advanced keepers. They are so aggressive and absolutely stunning. Not only that, but they are some of the larger Hymenopodidae and both males and females reach a nice adult size. Enjoy 😊

    This is a method used by many professional breeders to tell if certain ooths are fertile and about to hatch.

    Creobroter sp. Yunnan

    This is an awesome species. They are a massive Creo, and their personalities are wonderful. They are easy to feed, and overall one of my favorite Creobroter. Big thanks to Yen_Saw for the chance to keep this species. Some nymphs may be available soon.
