We are downsizing and are going to quit carrying the P. agrionina. We have over 120 Instar 2/3 for sale. I would prefer to sell all in one shipment if possible. Please make an offer if interested! Thank you!

We had a show today but my son dislocated his knee last night. I dislocated mine 5 days earlier. We now have a LOT of mantids for sale. We have 2nd instar P. Agrionina and 4th/5th instar Humbertiella ceylonica.  We have many other species we might me willing to part with as well. Let me know...

I have been wondering this myself!   Hoping you get an answer!  :)

Give me a couple of days and I can tell you specifics. I will place the hygrometer/thermometer in the cup to get numbers for you. My UNscientific way is that I spray the cup daily. Room temp of upper 70s/low 80s.  Humidity in room mid 40s.  Since this is a low RH, I squirt 4 times into the...

Okay, I am not crazy!  Well, I am. But not on this subject.  Soooo, remember a few months back I posted about an egg hatching about a month AFTER it had already hatched? Well, I have 3 HATCHED humbertiella ceylonica eggs that have all HATCHED!  They hatched on July 11, 13, and 19th. That is...

LOL!  I have a 3 story house now.  :)   I am giving them their own room once I can get a system in there that ups the moisture in the summer. That is more tedious for me than feeding them all.  

So excited for your babies!  :) I was spending about 3 hours a day until the budwings and ghosts hatched. I have OCD tendencies and that seems to be a GOOF quality when caring for so many mantids.  :)

It is!!!  We also have about 130 Indian barks that are L2-L5!   It really has't been too difficult. The barks were my first ooth hatchlings and their care is more critical in the beginning. Their little containers can not be bumped. high humidity, and they are FAST as lightning!!!  After...

I don't get much sleep!  :)   I am at about 6 hours a day with all of them. That involves cleaning habitats, misting, labeling, feeding, etc. There have been a few times I have been stressed over it. But for the most part, I love what I do!  Fingers crossed I can find these babies homes!!!

I received a Phyllocrania paradoxa ooth from MantisGirl13 that delivered 36 nymphs to me!!!  ALL of the nymphs are strong and healthy!    :)
