Mantids are getting quite big now. First time keeping these, are they close to adult/breeding size?

Sorry for pic quality, will post better soon.

They will be ready when molts are the last and thye have wings. Wait a few weeks before breeding them.

Good luck on the mating. Hopefully everything goes fine.

Just moved the female into a larger screened enclosure with plants, which is kept outside. Misting a few times per day. She seems happy, as judged by her looks, energy level, and appetite. Updated pics soon.

Not sure if she molted, does she look full adult yet? Her and the male hang out and stare at each other much of the day; either in love or hungry, maybe both.
