I have an adult male in hand, molted about 1 week ago, and should be good for another 2 months with the right conditions. I could do a breeding loan and collect ooths/ nymphs off you.

Hi, I have a male adult orchid available, let me know if you would like to trade for it as a breediing loan, and I will take an ooth after sucessful mating. Cheers, Brian

What size is that ooth? Which country u found it (Malaysia, Indonesia??). It does reminiscent that of an orchid ooth, but looks too small to be one, but most likely a flower type?? Here is a pic of an orchid ooth my lady recently laid, measured approx. 5cm long.

Why don't u buy more ghost then (not on your wanted list)

Thanks Macrojunkie, the male orchid arrived healthily today. Thank u so much again for everything, you really are a great mantis lover and seller! I would recommend to all! Hamsterpig
