@bugloverjo Yeah I know I've got dozens, haha. Mantis Monarch just had a hatch, so keep an eye out on Facebook, his shop page is called Mantis Monarch Shop.

@bugloverjo if they're sold out let me know, I know someone else that has them

@snuhan yay! So glad for you ?

 Easy transaction and awesome communication. Got 10 D. dessicata from Kiet and I love them. He gets an A++ from me ?

Another awesome transaction. Boxception every time, haha. I chose priorty and the nymphs arrived plump and extremely hyper ?. I highly recommend Peter. 

Ordered a couple of extencillosis from him and he threw in a free dessicata. Well packaged in their own individual containers and all of them were alive and healthy. Great communication and overall friendly person. Would highly recommend ????

Aww, glad to see ?

Yeah I can imagine, haha

 If they can hang and catch food I would think they're good to go. 

Yeah, that's what I've been doing. I follow these directions that @Sarah K recommend. So far so good. https://www.panterrapets.com/blogs/news/tips-and-tricks-to-prevent-flying-insect-escapees-at-feeding-time

Aaaww @Kermit you missed out! Hopefully there's another one soon

Welcome!

It's black spots they develop from rubbing their eyes on their enclosures. It's not life threatening in most cases, but I have seen pretty bad cases that didn't turn out so well. 

@izbiggs Aww I'm sorry. If it's eating it's a good sign. Hopefully she pulls through. ?

 Misting once a day is enough for most. Usually any misting you do should disappear after a few minutes. If you're worried about them not drinking enough you can give water through an oral syringe.

@Kermit what mantids did YOU see? Did you get any?

Aww, I'm sorry. Usually when they're that little I keep them in a deli cup with paper towel and I make my own vented lid for enough ventilation. My very first mantis was killed my mold, it's a common mistake.

@pgauss831 Oh dear. Mantids will chew off any limb if there's something wrong with it. It looks like it's not even trying to stand up in the last picture. If it has become that lethargic then I would do the humane thing. You should check your enclosure for mold. 

@Logan_123 then try house flies first, or stable flies. 

I believe it's a male, someone correct me if I'm wrong.
