    Hysteresis' Mantis Stream - 2019

    So fun, right? 👍😊 I have had many specimens who retain a piece of frass at the tip of their abdomen. While I do not know the reason why this occurs, most seem to get on just fine so I don't worry.  One female specimen of mine did die from what seemed to be complications from this issue, and I...

    Thank you! Cant seem to get the quote function to insert here, lol but.... In re: the plastic canvas...  No, not that I've seen. They prefer tulle, I think, but it is hard to use the tulle with my current adult female enclosures.

    Graceface's Mantis family

    Here is Giselle, who molted to adult last night.  I came home from work to find her on the side of her enclosure near the lid with uninflated wings. I worried something was wrong, but then saw she had molted and was climbing up to hang and inflate her wings. She is totally fine and curious ❤️...

    Communal and mixed instars

    They should be okay, provided they have enough food and communal space (ie perches and room in the enclosure to escape their roommates).  I've always separated mine at L4/5, due to my own fear of cannibalism and inability to track each specific mantis's progress. It is fun to see them all...

    First mantis

    Ghosts are fun, I love em! ❤️ I feed mine flies exclusively. I move them from FFs to houseflies at L3/4 and then on to Blue Bottle Flies which they eat for the remainder of their life. BBFs are great feeders and my personal fave There are a few good, reliable sources for flies for US peeps...

    Long time between penultimate and ultimate molt?

    What temp are you keeping him? Cooler temps will slow his development. He will take longer to molt if he is kept on the low side  At his instar, he should be eating houseflies or larger, not FF. Can you switch him to a bigger feeder? I feed my L4/5 males one Blue Bottle fly every other day...
