I am a Biology teacher in rural SD. My senior students each have 3 or 4 mantis they care for and it is amazing to see how much the students like there mantis. They are all named and usually taken out every school day for some exercise, etc. And the students do this on their own time not...

I received a package from Dave. Everything was safe and secure. He even included several for free. All of the nymphs are healthy and vigorous. Dave is wonderful to deal with as well. Replies quickly and answers any questions completely. I highly recommend doing business with him.

I just purchased several adult B. borealis and they are very cool. I am wondering if you know how long they can be expected to live after laying their ooth and how long the ooth will take to hatch? Thank you, Ramona

I would like to buy nymphs of larger species for my classroom. Please PM me if you have some for sale or expect to before it gets cold out. I live in South Dakota!! Thanks.

I would like to buy Rhombodera Basalis,Giant Malaysian Shield Mantis, nymphs or ooth. Anyone out there have any of this species they would like to sell or anticipate having?? Thank you, Ramona Lundberg

I hope this is the correct place to post this question. I have a few ooth that I was given last summer and I kept them in the refrigerator until about 6 weeks ago. They have been near a heat source for about 5 weeks- with occasional spraying. How long should I have to wait for the hatching-...

Where did you get the small opening screen?

Dave was wonderful to do business with. Fast shipping for an ooth and very well packed. The ooth hatched with 98 babies and my students are thrilled. He even checked on the progress and offers support. A super seller.

Is there any problem with feeding either the Black soldier flies larva or the adults as food for my mantis? Thanks

I would like to buy some nymphs of Plistospilota or Heterochaeta species. My classes really like mantis -- the bigger the better! Thank You.

I just bought several nymphs from Mr. Shield mantis and all arrived live and well and there were several extra. The mantis are well fed, the package was carefully packed and shipped exactly as he said it would be. Easy and good to so business with and I will definitely buy from him again.

I hope this is the correct place to post this question. I am hoping to have someone re-post some great mantis ID websites that were posted earlier I can't seem to find the sites in my bookmarks. I am a teacher and have several different species of mantis in my classroom that the students care...

Yen is the best. He is prompt and always so very helpful. I have ordered several kinds of mantis from him for my students in my Biology classroom and there is always something extra for my students to have and see. He even put in an adult female for free for my students. He is very personable...

Josh is great to do business with. He responds quickly to any questions, got the package out when he said he would and it was very well packed. The heat pack lasted the whole two days it took for the package to arrive and the ooths were secure and snug in the package. I highly recommend him.
