So here they are as promised. . . My mantis photos!

The ghosts first: 

 

[River Dane]

They’re pretty cute. I love Briarlight’s and Fallen Leave’s coloration! And Tigerheart’s a powerful name. Keep us updated on them, and looking forward to more pics.

Finally pics of your mantids. ? Ghosts are still on my wishlist too.  Ghosts are cute.

 

[MantisGirl13]

@River Dane Thanks! Fallen Leaves has such vivid colors that I could not capture them with my camera!

@Little Mantis Ghosts are the best! You should definitely push them to the top of your wish list!

I have more pictures to post. MantidForum was acting up for me last night and I was having trouble posting pictures, but I will do my best to put the rest up today!

Nice, your mantids deserve a topic on this forum too. ?I am almost out of space here for my mantids pics, I soon need to upload them on other site to link them here.

Think I need to slow down a bit with buying mantids. I have bought a bunch lately and 2 in transit.  Then i will be having 8 of them.

This morning I popped a month in the ghosts cage, and I looked in and my male and a female were sharing it! So cute! Sorry for the bad picture!

 

[Mantis Lady]

That is pure mantis love, sharing prey?

That is pure mantis love, sharing prey?

I know, right! I didn't even make them share it!

This morning I woke up to my Sphodromantis gastrica, Stitch, molting into subadult. Her neighbor, my Brunneria borealis Breeze noticed that I was nearby, and she sprinted to me and dug at the cage wall until I took her out. After that, she just sat on my hand and looked at me. So cute!

This afternoon, I got to watch my  violin, Valentine, molting as well! Sorry for the bad picture! Her head looks like it is connected to the stick!?

 

[Mantis Lady]

Grats on the molts. It is cool to see them molt.

 

[MantisGirl13]

@Little Mantis It sure is! I love watching them molting! Speaking of molting, my female ghost molted to subadult today! Yay! This means I have a sub male, two sub females, one presub female, and one presub male.
