If she is suffering the best Humane thing to do is have her go to sleep in the freezer. It's a tough decision but no creature should suffer in my humble opinion

Looks and sounds like a mismolt

Sarah is the best. Top quality shipping and animals 3 Cat Eyes Express w cold pack. Great to have her in the trade Thanks again Sarah for everything!

I know what you mean about the hydrometers? no suggestions on brands I've always have had success with Ghost hatches at mid 70's, and spray papertowls every other day. Air flow is key too. 60 days is what ? take to hatch, which puts you in range for hatches over the next two weeks. *** If...

Agree with @Sarah K Don't mist the ooth directly. The ooths are gonners if mold grows from stagnant water and poor ventilation. Ghost ooths take approximately 60 days to hatch. Invest in a hydrometer... ($6) Also if you want to be a real Mantis pro get one of laser guns that shoots a beam at...

How about ladybugs!.... Hahahaha, sorry.

Also can you please send a side shot of the ooth. Also where in California did you collect the ooth?  You really have two main possibilities: Stagmomantis Limbata, or Stagmomantis Californica Based on the darker color and the non raised "zipper" covering (typically in the Californica) my ? is...

Ghost come in Black, and a maroon deep red...

@Ocelotbren Thanks... I felt like a real MacGyver!

So true!

Just a quick story I have to share... So I have relatively difficult to find species, Stagmomantis Californica. Not impossible, but not entirely common to find.  I have raised a single male nymph right up to last night when I walked in to my mantis room and found him starting his final adult...

I am sitting heavy with 6 super healthy female B. Mendicas and no boys!!! Looking to buy, trade or some other arrangements to get one or more males around L3-4. LMK if you're holding! Thanks Kermit ?
