Great guy to deal with :D recommended, the ooth i got from him hatched when he said it would.

Received my ooths today from Yen, he put in a lot of effort into packaging them to make sure they arrived safely, great communications through out the transactions. great guy to deal with will buy from again. ;)

I split mine into smaller groups, fed on Drosophila melanogaster with a light mist everyday. Had a few die but not many, the rest are feeding well.

I had a pink male Pseudocreobotra wahlbergii nymph this year, he was the normal colour when i got him but turned pink really quickly He even stayed pink as an adult I managed to pair him with my female, they connected but unfortunately she had him for breakfast, she has gone on to lay 6...

I had a hatch of these just a day before yours but mine only hatched 25 nymphs, all in the same day. longest legs i have ever seen on a nymph

Congratulations mate :D how many u got so far?

Even if it isn't a scam, which i am sure it is, 30 ooths taken out of the wild of one species from probably one small area is irresponsible, if each ooth is fertile and can hatch 40-100 nymphs thats potentially 1200-3000 mantis snatched from the wild. That could have a devastating effect on...

how many nymph hatch from the ooths on average?

I dont know what is a gong-gong?

You cant be feeding them enough if gongys are munching each other, all species of mantis will and do eat each other but gongys are probably the most tolerant to living communally of all, if your going to keep them together feed them every day. If a few flys don't get eaten and die in the tank...

Love the colours on them, how big do they grow?

Why don't you buy an ooth from one of the German breeders or one from here in the UK or Europe? You may have to pay a little more for it but chances are you wont be getting a piece of foam, also this will come from captive bread mantis stock that are more likely to survive than wild caught...

Cheers cosmic :D Here she is

This is me in Ireland on holiday

Checked on the female this morning and shes in the process of laying an ooth :D will take a pic latter

Do you never loose any to fights over the same fly or accidents whem one is moulting and another knocks it? looks like they are all well fed, you must be going through thousands of flys a week to keep them happy :o

Is the glass half full or half empty?

Had my first pairing of these yesterday, probably my easiest so far, male just hopped on did the drumming you mentioned and within an hour he had connected :D other species i have paired have done the drumming but not for so long or as often, he can hold a beat and hes pretty loud for a...

Because they do, smells pretty bad too ;)

Thanks katnapper :)
