    How to color change a mantis ?

    I had my ghosts hooked up to an automatic mister that went off twice everyday. All of them turned out to be SUPER green. I doubt many species have the ability to change their color depending on their surrounding environment. Honestly, I believe for many species it's just a placebo effect (such...

    polk21

    I just recently received 6 orchid mantids from Szymon. When they arrived, I was surprised to see 5/6 of them were still alive, even though they were in transit for 9 days. Being my second time ordering live mantids from Europe, I definitely feel more comfortable having mantids shipped over...

    Coloration experiment

    I've tried looking on the forums, and google, but no luck. The experiments I've seen done consisted of a few color bands placed sporadically around the mantid's enclosure. If you know of any experiments like this, a link would be great :) . -Craig

    Coloration experiment

    Oliver is devilmantis. He's out of orchids right now, but he said another ooth is due to hatch in a couple of weeks (Honestly I don't feel safe shipping L1s overseas). Polk had 30 L4s about two weeks ago.

    Coloration experiment

    Since starting the hobby, I've always been intrigued by claims that certain species of mantids have the ability to change their coloration depending on their surrounding environment. I've kept many species from ghosts, to spiny flower, but their coloration seemed to be dependent on the amount of...

    devilmantis

    I ordered 14 orchid mantids from Oliver in France. All of which arrived plump, and in great shape, even though they spent 5 days in the mail. He has been great to work with; sending photos of mantids condition, of them eating, and mailing them in bomb proof packaging :) . If he gets anymore...
