Hello Fam, I have never seen these kind of flies before... They are huge (Bigger than Blue Bottles) with red/orange eyes. I set the trap out the day it stopped raining & caught quite a few. They're not very active but Triple OG seems to love them. If anyone have any info these buggers...

What up Fam.. This was my very first fly trap design before I went the with the mini laundry bag (actually I found the packaging it came in and it's for washing bra's lol) I tried it once but a few things didn't quite work out so I tossed it to the side but something told me to hold on to it...

My baby was acting very irritated a few weeks ago (very jumpy and moving around a lot) and I couldn't understand why but then I noticed the little zoo med temp/humidity gauge was acting very sporadic so I began looking for an alternative and came across these on Wish.com. There were very cheap...

Hello Fam! I've been busy collecting food for my baby these days every since I came up with this pretty cool idea... I was in the dollar store (my favorite place lately) when I came across these mini laundry bags. (The kind u throw in the washer or dryer with your load)  I made a few...

I was going to buy some BBF spikes but the guy suggested Solider flies... 200 for 5.00. He also mentioned although the look kinda like wasp but without a mouth and no stinger & they would be a good food source... Can I have u guys thoughts on this... Thanks!

I really like my girl but I want to move up to an exo terra 12x12x18 for my next mantis...  @CosbyArt or any person with great knowledge can help... Looking for a species possibly more aggressive than my lineola, can deal with higher temps (high 80's to low 90's... yes my place is a sweat...

She was enjoying her meal until the second course walked by and she decided to have it early!!!

Hello Forum Family, Although this forum is a great place for information most of you guys keep a lot of Manthis so must information is about starting cultures and breeding but with my one and only little lady that is overkill and gets confusing for someone in my situation. As we know Fall is...

She loves it... Although she can just sit and wait for her food she goes after it... The grass is so dense that she can walk on it... I love it!!!

Prey won't stand a chance!!! The grass is finally starting to sprout... If u look carefully you can see it's pretty high in the back right side behind the pothos. Hopefully I'll be getting my Springtails next week!

Is it possible to get thru the colders months on wax moths and dubia roaches alone?!?  I've read about the dubia roaches throughout the forum but most of the responses are conflicting... Some say they're great and some say the exoskeleton is too hard plus they play dead or burrow never to be...

Helllo, I just tried to feed my baby and she did something I've never seen (being a newbie it probably will be a long list of first lol) I dropped a few flies in for her (actually 3 by accident) bu she wasn't her usually self... She didn't go after them and when they came close she batted them...

My Katydid keep leaving these on the top of her critter keeper... What are they?!?!

I received my lineola a few days ago and it was love at first sight... When I first put her in she crawled on a few of the plants then made her way to the front part of the glass where we starred at each other for a few brief minutes before I threw the first 2 flies in... She starred at me until...

Hello again...  I'm pretty happy with my little setup ;-) It's the zoo med bugarium 8x8x11 Since this pic was taken a few things have changed... The soil is a lot dryer, I gave it a good soaking when I first introduced the plants to make sure the soil was settled & since then I've clipped...

Hello... Compton CA native here.   Hopefully I can spend the weekend reading most of the post on this forum so I can do well with this great new hobby... So far I have the cage but need a few other essentials before I actually purchase my first Mantis... Wish me luck and thanks in advance for...
