ok t hanks for the help everyone! Let me know if any of youguys have any for sale please!

I have been thinking about getting wide armed mantids for a while now. I saw them once and thought they were just beautiful. I have been reading anything I find about them and this site has been really helpful, but I still have a few questions... I have read that they are an aggresive species...

How much are yor Wide arm ooths?

Does anyone have any Wide arm males or ooths for sale?

Could I get a mated wide armed? How much would it be?

Do you ever find mantids out in the wild this time of year? Where at?

Im going down to Shasta Lake in California, and Im going to try and look for some mantids while down there (if there are any) So first of all, are there any near there? Is it the right time of year? Where should I look? Will I be finding adults or nymphs? Thanks for the help!!!!

She died today... :( I found her on her back, and she didnt look good.... when I flipped her over she still didnt move. She was my favorite too...

HAHA thats a good one! I have to tell her that! She would rather have the bugs!!!!

If you dont glue it then what do u do? I also thought of just putting the fabric undernieth the lid... id that what you do?

Hello everyone! I have posted a few things already, but I just noticed this section. My name is Alyssa and im a sophmore in high school. I just recently got an ooth that hatched in my room. My mother isnt to keen on me keeping bugs in the house, but thats ok! lol Thank you to everyone who...

So why cant there be any thing else in there with her? If it will give her something else to hang on to? Would some really thin fabric work? Should it be glued on to the lid flat? (She's in a plastic deli cup with a plastic lid)

Thats good to hear! So do you think that i should take every thing out of her cage and attatch some screen to the lid? She is still pretty small and the cage is big enough, so i dont think not having enough room was a factor.

Today she looks better... I guess her middle legs still work because she is useing them to hang on to the underside of a leaf. Do you think two legs will be enough to hang by while she's molting? Maybe she'll survive?

My Chinese mantis molted today for the first time. Her legs had been stuck in the old skin all day, so i tried to help her out. Both of her back long legs came off and the others are crippled. Her front graping legs still work fine. Will she live? Should I try hand feeding her after a few days?

How long does it take before the chinese mantids molt for the first time?

Many of my hatching mantises are getting globs of stuff stuck to their back feet (Im guessing something from the ooth) One has gunk connecting the two back feet so it kinda flops along. Would trying to rip the stuff of the legs be ok? Or will they remove it themselves? Thanks everyone for all...

I came home from shopping today to find two more baby mantids in the container with the egg. Im pretty sure that they just hatched because I took all the babies that Im not keeping and released them outside. I also noticed that there are a few alive babies still stuck hanging from the egg. They...

Thank you everyone for the help. Sometime this weekened they hatched while i was on a vacation. Not very many hatched though.... Im not sure what species they are, but im guessing that they are Chinese baceause I bought them at Home depot and they were considered an organic pest control. Is...
