Here’s a guide from Mantidsandmore.com.  So generally they do well between ~77°—86° And at night can tolerate down to ~64° Other sources have similar temp recommendations:      • KeepInsects.com      • MantidKingdom      •InsectStore Im fairly certain 72° is well within their range...

Here’s a presub vs subadult pic of my Stagmomantis female. Her wingbuds are significantly smaller because females of her species have much smaller wings than gastricas. But ignoring size alone, you can kind of see how the buds take a more final shape in subadult and the patterns become clearer...

She looks like a presub to me. Although I’ve never kept Sphrodos before

Male truncata is on the verge of molting to adult, and I want to get him a mate as soon as possible If you have an adult female Deroplatys truncata or know where I can find one, please let me know! Willing to work out trades or arrangements as well! Located in California 

The size difference between molts always impresses me.  And have fun with the BSF’s! I loved them while I had them, but I was too lazy to get them a proper breeding setup, so they are no more  :mellow:  They’re not hard to breed from what I’ve read, though.

Tybalt is beautiful! Congrats on the molt, glad to hear everything went well

Nothing but great things to say here. Her communication was the best I’ve ever experienced, always super quick and kind. I ordered a subadult breeding pair of ghosts, but ended up receiving a third presub male! All three arrived healthy and active, even through the cold Priority mail, all thanks...

I’m so sorry for your loss. Losing a mantis is awful, especially when you don’t know why. I think room temps are fine, my male has done well, although he grew very slowly.  Unfortunately he’s already a subadult due to molt soon so I can’t help there. But good luck finding another male! Also...

Beautiful creature! That’s a fantastic picture as well. I love how alien he looks, but he’s got those cute little button eyes.

Congratulations on the ooth! Your pictures are very clear. For uploading videos, you could always post to YouTube then add the link here.

I agree I think both Boots and Pants are male.  Your ghost looks female to me based on what I can see of the crown in the pic, but I don’t have much experience with ghosts. spots looks like he’s maybe L3, and probably somewhere around 2-3 molts behind Buggy. Spots might not be able to be sexed...

The idea that nature is free and beautiful is only seen that way because we are the ones with the freedom to come and go from it as we please. Camping is a fun thing to do not because it’s nice to be out in nature, but because we have the freedom to return. Have you tried camping for 30 years...

I can get you some yellow porcelain roach nymph pictures. Don’t have any adults, though, sorry.

Ordered a regal jumping spider and some yellow porcelain roaches. Everything came alive and well, and two extra roaches were sent! Everyone’s active, eating, and so far very healthy. Fantastic transaction, I would love to order from him again. I highly recommend!

I’ve got a subadult male truncata due to molt soon. Still looking for someone with an adult female. I’m willing to buy or work out some ooth arrangement. Located in SoCal. Weather forecast predicts a pretty clear week here

Beautiful specimens! I love the ‘whips’ on the amblypygi. That vinnie is looking very cool too

She’s so pretty! Congratulations on the adult molt, looks like all went well

I have an L6 male truncata who last molted a little over 2 weeks ago, so now I’m looking for a freshly molted adult female for him. Lmk if you’re selling or want some ooth arrangement and willing to ship to California. Thank you!

She’s beautiful! You got a nice shot of her arm coloration, it looks amazing.

Well that’s a dream come true! I wish I could be alerted every time a mantis was near me.
