Title says it all. I am looking for an adult male of this species to breed with my female. I am willing to work out an ooth arrangement or buy. 

This charismatic species is one of only a handful true US natives in the hobby. They are relatively easy to care for, and are semi-communal (at least during nymph stages). They are a fun species that grows up to 3.5" long, making it also one of the larger North American mantids. These are a must...

Dead-Leaf Mantis  D. Truncata adult females have arguably one of the most impressive threat displays in the entire hobby (only rivaled by the Devil's Flower Mantis in my opinion). These grow up to 3" long and are also incredible dead leaf mimics. Setting up an adult female in a glass enclosure...

I have several male nymphs of this species available for sale. Also willing to do breeding arrangements. 

40$ USA only. DM for shipping info. 

Ghosts (Phyllocrania Paradoxa): $5 each, 10 for $45. Dead-Leafs (Deroplatys Truncata): $14 each, 10 for $120.

$40 Each - $70 Together. 

I have a freshly molted adult male orchid mantis looking for a partner. I am also willing to buy or trade for an adult female. 

Fortunately we have no smokers in the house. No air fresheners either. I occasionally light a candle or two but I've been doing that for years with no issue. 

Can you describe specifically what happened to your batch? I just want to see if it was the same issue happening with mine, and to see if we have any common attributes that would cause the problem for a possible diagnosis. 

This is really disheartening, but my deroplatys truncata ooth hatched and about 50-60 nymphs were born. Now only 4 remain. They ALL fell victim to this weird problem where they would fall from their perch to the floor below. From there they would be "injured." They didn't drop dead immediately...

What species was it? I am having a very similar problem with D. Truncata. Mass die off of nymphs that seem to become paralyzed 

i1 unsexed Deroplatys Truncata nymphs - $12 each (must purchase minimum of three) 10 - $100.  By the time these ship out, they might be i2, but they are relatively hardy and capable of shipping out at i1.  i5-i6 female P. Whalbergii nymphs (3 available and must purchase all three) - $20 for the...

Is there any advantage to breeding a particular female twice? Assuming the first pairing was successful? 

Discoid roaches would be awesome...most other roaches are illegal in Florida.
