My Mantids

[Mantis Lady]

Gratz on the molt. ?

 

[MantisGirl13]

 Thanks! I got new cages yesterday, so today I prepared them and put the mantids that had outgrown their former cages into bigger ones.

[Mantis Lady]

nice, what cages did you buy?

 

[MantisGirl13]

I use cheap containers from the dollar store near me. It is cheap, easy, and a great habitat.

 Last night my dad helped me get some great close-up shots of some of my current mantids so I thought I'd update this page. 

One of my five Popa spurca L4s:



One of my seven Pseudocreobotra wahlbergii:



One of my six Parasphendale affinis:



Valentine the Gongylus gongylodes has grown bigger!



Briarlight the ghost has four ooths now!



Tigerheart the male ghost is a beautiful old man:



I'll try to get some more good pictures and update this page more often.

[MantisGirl13]

Yeah, I hope that we can do that more often!

@MantisGirl13 just saw this thread. Beautiful mantis! And those names... I completely recognize them. Some book series about wild cats in like different clans right?! I forget the name of the series but I remember reading them like 8 years ago and absolutely loving them. Absolutely loved the names of all the characters in that book.

I hope she will. It is good to have pics of them before they are gone. (ask a camera for bday )

Yeah, The Warriors series by Erin Hunter. I love those books! It is cool that you recognized the names!

I already plan to ask for a camera for Christmas or my birthday!
