Yeah my lineola females were all brown or brownish as nymphs. Dunno if any of the ones I sold that were green stayed green. All males that I got left turned green, 2 more to go, 1 is molting right now a d 1 is brown sub adult. There is one green sub adult female I am waiting to see how she does...

Hahaha great post :D  especially Michel's flying adventure... I have a male sphodromantis viridis who is like that. Likes to fly onto my face the most :D   Max should be pretty good at flying once he gets his wings, these guys are pretty lean and light :)

I would go for a wild caught mantis in your case also ;)

There is almost no chance to go wrong with these, they eat anything, molt perfectly, just dont bother them at least 24 hours after molt they will be fine :)  and enough space under them :)  

Cute story and cute mantis  ;)  lineolas are such a nice enjoyable species! They were my first and I always reccommend them to any beginner :)  hope u have a lot of fun times with your baby (well with these it's guaranteed!) ;)

Amazing, congrats! ;)  Angry and looking fabulous :D

Beautiful girl! Lineolas are so cool, because they are ferocious hunters but really laid back in contact with humans (except one of my babies who is cranky af and ran inside of a drawer yesterday lol) and easy to care for... Plus many colour variations in the nymphs at least, I got yellow...

Congrats!!! ;)

Glad she finally did it! Congrats! It is anazing to watch them molt isn't it :)  hope u catch her when she is growing wings ;)  now let her rest for 2 days.

Hello, I am looking for sub adult rhombodera basalis male(s) for my beautiful girls. Europe only. Thank you ;)

Maybe she was just not hungry :D  great she ate... She will molt when the time comes ;)

I would help u with that syndrome if I was in the US lol. Good luck with your beautiful orchid!

Try to put her somewhere secluded so she is not afraid to molt. Although my lineolas are molting like crazy day or night... But when I had just two they always did it at night undisturbed

Maybe they do the dance so that nobody would steal their treat? :D

Some of mine do it too when feeding ;)  different types of wobble... Some is slower when they come to get the prey, quicker and more "excited like" when I hand feed them or give them honey, then a different type when they are about to fly or jump :D  and crazy me does the wobble with them...

News in my mantids: Sold like more than half of the nymphs but still  got quite a lot on my plate. My friend offered to sell some for me so I really hope it will work.  I bred Dessicatas, Popas and Majusculas, still hoping for the Truncatas to be able to breed. The male Decimiana tesselata I...

I think she just reacted to what u did they are very perceptive and like to see the face 

This kind of mantis is usually pretty smart in finding a good molting place ;)  I never had s mismolt with them. 

Aww so cute!! Feed her next time when her belly gets a bit less fat now she is satisfied ;)

Just put some sticks in ;)
