Thanks, but I am only interested in the species I listed.

Example European - PA Carolina - NC

I am trying to get reasonable ranges of some mantid species at the state level on maps to include on info sheets that go with live exhibits for the annual BugFest here at the Natural Science Museum this September in Raleigh. This does not have to be perfect. I am going to assume the Chinese is...

Each one would be mapped separately. This doesn't have to be perfect. I would like to know though where the following species are found in the USA in the wild on a state level. Thesprotia graminis Brunner's Mantis Chinese European TX Unicorn Carolina For example, I don't think the...

Brunner's Mantis (Brunneria borealis) and Grass Mantis (Thesprotia graminis) wanted.

I am looking for a source showing the range (preferably in map form) of both native/invasive and exotic species of mantids.

I have 3 pairs of African Budwing (Parasphendale agrionina) mantid pairs (M/F) for $9 each. I've lost track of the exact molt stage, but based on size, these look to be two molts from adulthood. Female Male Adult Female

Actually, it is a European Mantis. I did not realize they could be so pale. I'll be trying to mate her with my male (who is bright green) in a couple weeks.

I've taken several snakes out of the wild here and kept them (and released them). I don't see this as a problem. The snakes I am taking are not endangered nor are they in any demand in the pet trade which means they are not being harvested for that purpose. Black Rat Snakes, Garter Snakes ...

Yes, I find audux, clarus, and ostiosus here

Looks like a Steatoda species (cob web spider, related to widows but venom is not significant)

There are great books on the subject. Check out Amazon.com or your local library. That's the best way to get insight into this philosophy.

The one orchid ooth I've had so far I kept in a 32 oz delicup, attached to the lid. Lid was sealed with packing tape and a wet paper towel was place in the bottom. Misted once a week. Hatched about 50 nymphs after 5 weeks in the upper 70s to 80F over 3 days (only 3 on the 3rd day). About 6-8...

The flies or the larva?

Carolina mating

It's not the kind of fuzzy mold you might see on fruit. Rather, the substrate darkens and takes on a greenish hue.

Orchid ooth hatched this past weekend.

I don't do anything with the sawdust the maggots are in. After 2 months, the substrate molds on me. I can't recall whether mold affected the maggots. Something lost in the back of my brain tells me I let the maggots pupate for reasons other than speeding up the time from fridge to fly. I...

I just set out the last of my Blue Bottle Fly pupae to hatch from my most recent order from Grubco. These were ordered May 23rd. I was able to get them to last for over 2 months by doing the following. Upon receipt, divide the group in half. Place one half as maggots straight into the...
