i have a giant african yellow-legged centipede, and i noticed lots of tiny clusters (what appear to be eggs) all over the centipede's body. they don't move and they're a tan-ish color. does anyone know what these are? sorry i don't have any pictures. any help will be appreciated! thanks.

UPDATE! my african mantis finally shed into an adult yesterday! it's amazing how big they get after their last molt. now can anyone tell me if it's lineola or centralis? it has two eyespots on its wings, but i'm not sure if you can see it in the photo. and how much longer do they have to live...

happy new year everyone! sorry haven't been on the boards. holidays were crazy!

wait a few more days because the color will get darker.

nice pics! i like the lighting. were you keeping your african mantis at a low humidity level too?

Hmm... I think a poll is in order.

omg that's long! haha i'm too lazy to read this. it's like homework.

bought an $8 32 oz. hydei culture. very fast shipping! i ordered on sunday night right before midnight and the order arrived on tuesday! i love how they ship the flies and medium in separate containers so they don't drown in the medium during rough usps shipping. will definitely buy from them again!

nice pictures. i want to try raising these sometime.

oh okay i understand now. thanks guys!

just thought i'd update: well my african mantis molted again and it took about 20 days in between. before: after: after reading Ian's reply i increased the humidity of the enclosure by spraying every day, and this was the outcome. i did not change the temperature or provide any extra...

are "tenodera sinensis" and "tenodera aridfolia" two different chinese mantis species? i am wondering because i have seen chinese mantises listed as "tenodera aridfolia sinensis" as one species. which is correct?

so you had a premonition about your mantises? how befitting because the name mantis comes from the greek word for prophet. :D

I finally received 4 budwing nymphs and 1 extra from Sam. Shipment took 8 days to arrive! Shipped 11/28 and arrived 12/6. I also received an ulcer from worrying so damn much. nymphs were very hungry and dehydrated. I’m still amazed they were able to survive without food or water for that long...
