I just received roaches from a trade last week. They all came healthy! The roaches were vibrant and had a lot of energy running around. He added a lot of mature ones, too. I got Green Banana roaches, and Gyna caffrorum, and Lobster roaches from Paulo.

I thought it was Spiny Flower mantis. I had some of those before. They are a cool species and do beautiful threat displays. They dance and move their arms around like they are doing martial arts.

Hello. I still have H. venosa nymphs that I am looking to sell. They are L2-L3 at the moment. They are $8 each, or $6 each if you buy 4 or more, or $3.00 each if you buy 10 or more, or $2.50 each if you buy 20 or more. This strain of Hierodula venosa that I have doesn't seem to have the...

Hi. I have a small H. venosa ootheca that I am looking to get rid of. It is $20. The strain of H. venosa that I have is the plain looking strain, and not the bright yellow form of H. venosa. I will refund the price of the ootheca in the case the ootheca doesn't hatch if you can show some...

When I read torching ooths, I thought you meant light a fire and melt away a part of the top of the ootheca to see the nymphs. Now I realize you mean shine a falshlight under the ootheca.

Hello. I had a Hierodula venosa ootheca hatch out recently. The nymphs should be ready to ship after about a month. They are $8 each, or $6 each if you buy 4 or more, or $3.50 each if you buy 10 or more, or $3.00 each if you buy 20 or more. This strain of Hierodula venosa that I have doesn't...

Misting daily might be the problem. I had misted my L1 Carolina mantis nymphs daily and they consistently mis-molted. But then once I was told that misting daily was too much, I stopped misting to often and they stopped mis-molting.

Hi. I have a small number of larger Ghost mantis nymphs and adults that I have had trouble getting fertile oothecas from. I am looking to sell some of them for about $13 each. But since they haven't been able to produce fertile oothecas for me I cannot guarantee they will be able to mate and...

I have a small number of Giant Asian mantis nymph available. They are $11 each, or $8 each if you buy 5 or more, or $5 each if you buy 10 or more, or $4.00 each if you buy 20 or more. I can guarantee live arrival with 2-3 day Priority mail. But you will have to pay for shipping for any...

Are these mantises from Australia? If you found the female mantis as an adult in the wild, I would guess she is already mated, and has fertile oothecas. What kind of mantis is she?

Okay. I will see if I can return the heat packs.

Hi. I have a couple H. venosa oothecas that I am looking to get rid of. The strain of H. venosa that I have is the plain looking strain, and not the bright yellow form of H. venosa. I was thinking of selling the oothecas at $30 each if anyone is interested. I will refund in the case the...

I have too many H. majuscula nymphs to feed right now. So I am hoping to sell some sexed pairs. I think they are about L4 to L6. They are $30 for one sexed pair. But I will discounted them to $22 per sexed pair if you buy two or more pairs. I may need to buy some heat packs, so it could be...

The 110 hour heat packs that I got recently are said to have gone out of date last November. I hope they will still work okay. The one I tested got warm. But it is going cool now. I started it Saturday last week, so it hasn't really lasted all that long. I did have the heat pack exposed...

I remember reading Yen Saw saying that ventilation holes are not necessary when shipping mantises. The plastic containers probably don't have a perfect seal and so let enough oxygen in for the mantises. When I was testing the 110 hour heat pack I noticed the containers with the fabric lids...
