I have Stagmomantis limbata L1 nymphs for sale.  $12+shipping each and buyer chooses shipping. Feel free to private message me with any questions. Shipping from southern California.

I'm sorry to hear about your mishap with the Idolos, that really sucks to have that happen. It's awesome to see somebody with Metallyticus splendidus!  I am actually planning on getting a pair of them with a vivarium setup.  Please keep updates on them!

Ah okay. I saw some of that laying around somewhere. I'll have to make more changes. These cups are just for their L2 level, once they reach L3, I have new things set up for each instar.

Any pictures I take of my Idolos I will be uploading to here. This is my first and second! :D

I have recently gotten an Idolomantis Diabolica from Peter and am currently awaiting another one. I hope to get a breeding pair, but well see as time goes along. As of now, I have modified a deli cup that I think would do the nymphs justice. I hot-glued 2 layers of metal mesh on the lid and...

Hey guys, as you can see I am new to the forum. I have the basic knowledge and then some about keeping mantids; so I am always open and happy to learn new things. At one point i was keeping about 90-100 mantids at once(Creobroter gemmatus I think they were). So glad I sold them after a few...
