Subadult male Litanuetria sp.

SOLD. Thanks.

Appear to be Hierodula sp. similar looking to H. parviceps.

It's a species from around South East Asia. The newly hatched is very small and feed mainly only insects smaller than fruit fly, but are aggressive and chase down food. Light misting daily and not too hot (stay below 85F), like to hide in the underside of a leaf. Molting was the problem for me...

Received wonderful package with healthy mantis. Thanks!!!

Very sad news. Phil passed away yesterday. I will remember him forever. Condolences to his family and friends.

It could be Y. solitarium based on shorter pronotum and less pointy eyes, and that's an adult female ready to deposit some oothecae.

Sorry i missed out your reply. No special techniques really. But knowing where is the mantis 'preferred' spot helps, which is very much depending on the species, adult female P. chlorophaea for example, almost always been found close to the top of plants.

It's not a male. You should see budwing for subadult male. This is likely a subadult female, they will get a short pair of wings as adult.

Likely Amorphoscelis sp.

Did you find honey pot ants at your location in MT? As far as i know honeypot ants only exist in southwestern US arid area. Only mantis that live in the same habitat would take down ants, as i have seen ground mantis feeding on ants (honeypot and Acromyrmex sp.) in Arizona.

Nice spot! I haven't seen any adult female ground mantis above 2 feet above ground but they will climb any height to look for food. Adult male has been found at any elevation even to the building top when attracted by lights.

Thanks for the wonderful post. I enjoy reading it through! That double species at ivy tree is pretty cool. Looks like you live in mantis heaven :)   Luck and a pair of keen eyes play an important role in spotting mantis, but I think the chance of finding one increases with experience too...
