Beautiful! Agree not to be stung by one, pain to the heart and worse than velvet ant.

MItes usually won't harm mantis. If the problem become worse, you can try to use predatory mites. These feed ferociously on mites only and is also used as biological control for pest mites on agriculture.

Wonderful parcel which took almost a week to arrive due to no fault from Mikhails. Everything made it in great condition and as always there is surprise addition to the trade. Thanks for everything!

Seems like yesteryear when this was posted http://mantidforum.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=4643&hl=%2Btamu+%2Bopen+%2Bhouse This is the 27th annual meeting and going to be my 8th. As usual it was fun last year, and hopefully this one is equally fun. Thought I would share this info...

Thanks for the wonderfully packed parcel. It took extra day due to USPS delay but the 72-hr heat pack help. Thanks for the healthy mantis!

I have some CB spiny flower mantis hatching out 2 weeks ago and they are now L2. Email me if interested.

This species needs some patience and luck when it comes to mating. Most of the time, male doesn't approach the female immediately but rather taking their own sweet time or flee as soon as the larger female is on his sight. The male appears to be very wary about the pairing for a good reason...

From my experience I have never seen any orchid mantis deposit ooth on a stick, usually on flat surface instead, as long as the female has a good grip on the surface.

You're right TheKneeBees. Looks like Hierodula sp. now at L3, and growing fast too.

The one on the left is likely Stagmomantis limbata, while the on the right is Iris oratoria.

Nice coloration Bobericc! Remind me of the P. wahlbergii pics a South African friend sent me.
