I think these count as macro? I put my mantises under my microscope sometimes and get some neat pictures and videos of them. The quality is a little grainy, but I still think they look cool. Feel free to post your own pics/vids here if you'd like! Rhubarb cleaning her mouth after eating...

I am interested in buying 2 nymphs of the following species - preferably around i3-i5. They don't have to be from the same person! I have two enclosures, so I made two "categories" of species that I'm looking for. I'm not looking to breed them, so male/female does not matter (slight preference...

This recently came out on Disney+, and I was really excited to see a series solely about bugs! I'm pretty mixed about it, so here are my thoughts. Good - Bugs! - Nice footage - Some less popular bugs were featured - Some nice connections to integrated pest management and coexisting with...

Hello! I haven't bred my ghost mantis, and she's laying an unfertilized ooth. I wasn't able to find much on what to do/not to do when mantises are laying ooths, so I thought I'd say what's happening here and see if there's anything I need to do. I noticed Cilantro laying an egg yesterday, but I...

Been getting some decent videos and pictures of my isopods recently, and I wanted to share them with fellow enthusiasts! I don't have any professional equipment (besides the microscope you'll see featured) so most of this is just shot from my phone. I ordered some more Porcellionides...

Just wanted to share some of my bug art to fellow insect lovers! If anybody has any suggestions for a species I should draw feel free to comment or message me! I think I can edit this post over time as I make more pieces, and if not I'll just reply to the thread with more images. (From left...

Hi! Both of my mantis cages need their tops upgraded - one has a solid plastic top and the other has metal mesh. Definitely going to replace the plastic one with mesh but it's not a huge priority since I don't have anything going in there at the moment (and I need to figure out how to do it...

This is my mantis! They're a jewel flower mantis - not sure of the sex yet. I think that they're on i4? I've named them Minty! I purchased them from mantisuniverse.com.

I've recently gotten into keeping mantises, but unfortunately I've found that care guides can be lacking (for instance, I couldn't find any visual examples of what a full Jewel Flower Mantis nymph looked like and accidentally underfed mine for a couple weeks). I thought that a forum for this...
