I usually order from Ghann's! they're the best! But wolven pointed out that if you don't have 2954828 critters to feed, buying smaller quantities of bandeds from say Rainbow Mealworms is the better way to go

I use a number of species. When these species explode again I'll sell you starters for cheap ($10 or so) I recommend Nauphoeta cinerea, Panchlora sp., Oxyhaloa duesta, and Compsodes schwarzi. Be aware that C. schwarzi is a TINY roach and so not the best for your larger species Keeping a colony...

sounds like habituation to me I use rainbow mealworms for bottleflies, then Rebecca and Spider Pharm for houseflies. Be aware that the rainbow mealworms blue bottles are Calliphora vomitoria, which take about 12 days to metamorphosize, unlike Rebecca's Protophormia terraenovae which take maybe...

my website isn't selling much rn, we haven't set it up fully, so I post them to here :)

hello! Back in Rhode Island, I helped to mass-rear S. limbata. Not too bad except for cannibalism around i4 before we split them up. They are quite variable, both in the potential number of instars they can have and the colors! it happens! though I much prefer to rear leps, it's easier to do...

both species can molt to adult in a 32oz deli cup but mated females get moved to 1g jars

way too big IMO. maybe if you had Macromantis or Hierodula but there's also Odontomantis, who despite being diminutive need a LOT of space or they stress out and die! I have mating pairs of these cuties right now!

well now I'm scared my neighbor, whose car i slid into, works at my school!

welcome! you can buy mantises just about anywhere these days. I will be selling some soon as for the second question, that depends on the species and the size of the tank

depends on if there's a delay

on our end, yes. However, when it gets really hot in summer you need insulation and cold packs

I primarily use UPS

CHANCES THROOOOOWN NOTHING'S FREE they don't need terrariums per se give them a few days before feeding, ghosties are picky eaters

I could ship ooths out there in spring

that plus insulation

what I can tell you is this forum is far less active than it was 10 years ago, partially because of all of the facebook/discord groups dedicated to mantises nowadays

2 years

that's perfect

Wolven sent me a fresh adult male Hymenopus coronatus to breed to one of my females. He arrived alive and there were a few silly little trinkets in the box as well. The only criticism I'd give is that the box was a little small given there was a heat pack included, but it didn't kill him so it...

they do but they're more expensive and don't last as long as heat tape
