Rhombodera megaera is a nice big green species, hardy, and aggressive eaters. Very easy to keep. Nymphs are currently L2-L3 and need no special care. I've hatched the first ooth to make sure she is fertile. I have 2 more ooths for sale. One will hatch soon, the other is fresh from over the...

I know this is a long shot, but I have ladies that need mates. All my males died before I could use them. If you have males going to waste I could use them. If I get them to breed you get an ooth. Will try younger males as well. I'm sure I could speed them along. Successfully bred last season...

Caught a pair of Tan Jumpers (Platycryptus undatus) on a hike just over a month ago at Slateford Creek Waterfalls in PA. The male was courting the female so I knew they were a pair. I housed them together and got to witness the mating ritual the following day. Not long after the female built a...

Adorable!

Looking for males as close to adult as possible. I have cash and nymphs of other species to trade.

One of my favorite species in the hobby! Huge as adults, communal, and very easy to keep. Also, as can be seen below, one of the coolest threat displays! Another 2 ooths hatched. Batch of L2 nymphs available now. 3 more ooths incubating. $13 each (minimum order of 2), 5x for $60, 10x for $110...

Collected the second batch of ooths which is a good sign. Both females bred multiple times by different males. Just waiting for that first hatch to assure me I'll get nymphs. Still, do not think they are prolific enough that I can spare any ooths this generation, though Astyliasula phyllopus...

I will. Also have Heterochaeta orientalis hatching now. Lots of Heterochaeta orientalis coming. 🤩 I don't think I'll be swapping any ooths of this species until I get a stable culture sustained. We'll have to see how well these girls lay, hatch rates and mortality. All a big unknown at this point.

For reference, this is what nymphs look like...

I haven't posted here in forever but had to share this. Breeding Psychomantis malayensis. Two females mated but weren't laying. Got the first to lay with some extra humidity and live plants but second was still holding out. Last night she finally started laying and I thought she'd never stop...

Thanks! There is definitely an art to working with insects. It helps to have a real connection with them. I hope my love for them comes through in photos and video. Thank you! Some of my favorites. I miss that species so much. Still hopeful someone brings them back into the hobby. I appreciate...

Thanks again. Macro photography is a lot of fun. When I 'm recording a video I try to snap pics between shooting clips. More photos here: https://yourshot.nationalgeographic.com/profile/233653/

Awesome! Thank you. I got very lucky catching that footage. She had been hanging from the very top of the enclosure, which is unusual, so I kept an eye out for a molt. The problem with documenting something like this is you need to be able to change the angle to get the camera positioned...

Just a little update. THE DODO has licensed this same video and edited it into a beautiful educational video. I absolutely love THE DODO so it's nice to see them take an interest in insects which doesn't happen very often. Enjoy...

Parasphendale sp. Kenya are substantially larger than normal budwings. At L1 they start as red-headed ant mimics, then develop into aggressive eaters with oversized raptors as they mature. Adults have beautiful patterning as well as the classic striped eyes. Ooths do not produce the ridiculous...
