    Breeding Panther mantises

    Feed the male and female well. They can be aggressive and attack anything if hungry. What I did is put the female on a long bamboo cane, and give her food, then intrifude the male facing her back behind her as she eats. From there, he should notice her in time and hop on. Very eager to mate...

    Haven't been visit the mantis forum since covid, but it seems I'm not the only one.

    i love it here. I wish more people used it. but the current discussion has moved to other platforms it seems.. sadly. the wealth of knowledge that remains here keeps me coming back.

    Helping females lay ooths

    keeping them hydrated and with a variety of surfaces to lay on is just about as much as you can do.. an infertile ooth can take a while before its finally laid, females seem to try to hold onto the eggs for as long as they can.

    Ghost mantid breeding?

    Patience, ghosts can be infuriating to breed. Don't do anything to startle them, I would recommend not even being in the same room while they get started.

    Why did no one tell me odontomantis can teleport?

    Definitely not a species that you're going to want to be handling with much frequency, as you mentioned. The speed comes with being an ant mimic species. Try not to bother them too much while feeding or doing maintenance, but when feeding/cleaning smaller species or nymphs, I like to do it on a...

    Damon diadema bit me!

    In my experience, Damon species, and particularly diadema, are rather picky... they do seem to enjoy red runner roaches, but ignore other species like Nauphoeta cinerea. Crickets are certainly their favorites though. Moths and flies may be difficult for them to catch.

    Damon diadema bit me!

    She is likely fine and was simply startled. My medius reacts similarly upon being touched. I've been pricked good by the larger ones many times.
