Hello there. I didn't post here much but I just wanna let u guys know how is my collection going. I started with 2 Sphodromantis lineola last november I think and now I've got like 38 mantids... Lineolas, P. Laticollis, ghosts, Deroplatys desiccata and Truncata, Popa's, S. viridis, Rhomboder...

I keep a molting diary and another diary where I stick the molted skins. Otherwise I just put photos on facebook. 

Best april fools ever lol, creative and funny!

It was not for sale, they just had a couple of adult females from different species to show (loved the D. Lobata) apart from nymphs they were selling, but when there are babies, I'll probably get them :D  

I just saw Rhombodera Megaera on an expo and its huuuge!

Awesome mantids and I love the names you give them! I wish I could come up with so many cool names :D

These are the most awesome looking mantids ever :)

Wow, these are amazing! 

I was just now feeding my P. Laticollis and wondering why such a fun, active and colourful mantis is not very popular? Weeeeird!

Also I got a pair of P. Laticollis, they are so cute and they like to jump on my face. And 5 Paradoxas, 2 girls and 3 boys, they are super tiny.

So both of them are guys. They are pretty big now the molted 4 times since I got them. I named them Ziggy and Snape. They are always hungry and a lot of fun.

So they molted again last week, they are doing fine so far. They are super cute. I think they remember that I am the one who gives them food cause they sonetimes get excited when they see me. Wonder if they are girls or boys.

So one of my mantis molted yesterday night ( i slept so I dunno when). She/he is already moving. Should I feed her ot wait till tomorrow? I only have baby crickets my fruit flies died gotta get new ones somewhere.

So beautiful!

They seem to be going well so far :) i feed them irregularly. Is it possible that they are getting bigger even though they didnt molt?

So I went to the expo where they sell lizards and snakes and insect today (well yesterday but I didnt go to sleep yet) and I got myself two baby mantis. The are so freaking tiny. I moved them into a slightly bigger cups which I DIY'ed (uhh you know what I mean). I used a hot glue and fine mesh...

Oh yeah and can I give it Manuka Honey?

Hey I am new here and I am planning to get a mantis so I have some questions: I read that a draft from open window can be harmful to mantids so what do I do when I want to open windows to get some fresh air in the appartment. And outside temperatures can be pretty grim here. Opposite to that...
