Wow that's strange that they both were the same age and had the same instar nymphs! Maybe it's their max age limit or something.  It is sad they are so short lived sometimes.

I'm so sad my female Ghost mantis Venus died yesterday. She was fine and then just was on her back upside down on the ground. She lived for over 15 months! And she laid 15 egg cases! She nearly made it to see her offspring become adults as her first egg case nymphs are L7.  I think it might have...

Very sorry to hear that. You did your best.

That's good that he ate honey and drank some water. I would wait a little longer and see if he molts. He doesn't appear to hurt and as long as his raptors work he should be able to eat. But if he is internally damaged then that is bad. I would wait to see if he wants to eat anything. Don't feel...

Ok thank you so much for the replies!

Wow awesome macro pictures! So many beautiful mantises! Love it!

Congratulations! That is awesome! Great job in getting them to successfully breed.

I keep Grizzled mantises at room temperature. I keep most of my mantises at room temperature.

I have kept Grizzled mantises together in a larger container until about L4 without to many major incidents.

Wow that is impressive!  Ok so then I won't clean them haha.

I was wondering how often should feeder springtail enclosures be cleaned? Or the water cleaned out of them? I currently have two containers filled with water and charcoal. Is there a good way to clean them as well?

Great pictures! Wow the size difference in male and female Orchid mantises is crazy!

Ok I will try that thanks!
