I have a sub-adult male I could spare if you're interested, as well as a nice green sub-adult female :) . I'm located in Minnesota. EDIT: Also have a few pre sub-adult males. -Craig

Fresh out of ooths at the moment. Still a bunch more L1-L2's.

Bump. 4 more ooths laid, 30 more L1 Nymphs. I still have a bunch of L2's and a few L5's. -Craig

Looking for a sub-adult/adult male Rhombodera sp. I have 3 sub-adult females and my last male died a few weeks ago. I'd be willing to trade a female or two if anyone's interested. Thanks, -Craig

bump. More nymphs available. Also have a few ooths I need to get rid of, and more on the way.

Well after a couple of months, I'm getting a bit restless about trying new species. I had planned on waiting until most of my stock hit about L6 before selling, but I can't wait anymore :D . Here's what I have: 20+ L1 P. paradoxa 20+ L2-L3 P. paradoxa 15+ L3-L6...

I've never successfully produced a green male. All of them have turned out to be different shades of brown. Both photos are of the same mantid, and it's a female. -Craig

I have about 4 adults, however most are older than 4 months. I'd consider selling a few once they're dead if you're interested. Or you can simply buy a few nymphs and mist them at least twice a day. That should get them nice and green. Here are a few pics of one of my ghosts...

I appreciate it. Any Acanthops sp would be awesome really. I got back into the hobby about six months ago so I'm itching to try out new species. -Craig

It's getting a bit warmer here in Minnesota and I'm looking to buy a few new species. If anybody has either of the two, and are willing to trade / sell, please let me know! Thanks, -Craig

I purchased 14 ghost nymphs from Grimm and he sent three extra; all which arrived fat and healthy. I'll definitely do business with him in the future. -Craig

All of those shots were taken in Amazonas, Brazil. I did find a lichen mantid ooth in Costa Rica. When I brought it back to the states however, the nymphs that hatched were too small to take on fruit flies, and died. I was able to bring it back only because the ootheca was about 1cm in length...

It's been a few years since I've had mantids, but I'm starting to get back into the hobby again. Mainly because of the 80 day expedition I just got back from. Anyways, I thought many of you might be interested in some of the photos I took. Maybe you can help me with some identification ;)...
