Welcome  sound like you have a great collection.

Thats neat a optical illusion  the smaller ones are just further away on the other wall of enclosure even though at first they appear to be next to the larger ones on this side of enclosure. The angle of enclosure and angle the picture is taken  created this illusion. But at first glance looks...

Look forward to the new guide and your new projects.

I robed these fake plants from household containers. A few leaves here and a few leeves there reminds me I need to make sure bald spots are turned back to wall side. Not sure what plants they represent. Some leaves are glued to sticks with Moss to cover glue and the others are wire vines.

Great Idea on the lids grind down the threads I will try that. My ghost mantids haven't been using the lid except the first couple days I put them into enclosure. I am beginning to think that the scuffed part of container makes them hang out lower. Mabe because the can't see through it very...

Good to know about glueing sticks to lid. The individual enclosures do have mesh screen glued to them. I glued the mesh screen with some sag toward the middle for a good foothold for the mantids. Iam thinking of replacing the screen under lid with meshed shelf liner I just don't have any right...

These are for my individual ghost mantids right now male mantids occupy these.

I had to change up my ghost enclosure My female laid ootheca on my vines and they were glued to enclosure. I should have seen that coming Anyway this new setup is a lot more ooth friendly.

Welcome and ghost mantids are super cool

Check this out in enclosures and housing CosbyArt address this topic hope this helps.

Cool thanks  I will keep an eye out for a dark one to send your way. I went ahead and put the youngest mature  male in with female she is already fed up nicely and also released some moths in enclosure. So hopefully he will find her by tomorrow morning.

I have the taller versions that held parrot food. Post pictures when your done I would like to see what the shorter version looks like setup. The lid is better also on yours. The only downside I have with this type container is when mantid is on the lid it is hard to unscrew so I finally just...

I plan on trying the pop up cubes when they reach L3 I am looking to get a couple at the beginning of April from DeShawn. How many nymph's male and female do you recommend keeping out of each ooth for future breeding. I was thinking 5  total from each ooth. (3 males and two females) or at least...

I just asked DeShawn pretty much the same question. ( If keeping communally, you can keep 10-15 in a 32oz until L3, then usually better to move to a bigger enclosure.) Hope this helps 

Thanks. I saw them on your site the other week and started thinking they would be perfect for housing for housing the ghost once they get L3 to L4 and up. 

Already working on a fruit fly plan. The enclosure  I was looking at are the 80 oz cups with cloth lid they seem the easiest to set up very little modifying. But I am looking at a couple different options also. The pretzel barrels look supper cool but they are pricey for the pretzels. (All I...

Update my female ghost laid her second fertile ooth wensday afternoon. I will Remate my female Sunday with young male.

Hopefully she will lay a ooth for you in a few days. Congratulations

Really sorry to hear this. My  miomantis binotata male also seems to be having trouble climbing he matured 10/20/2015 so he is right at 5 months mature really surprises me he is still around. He now spends most of his time on floor of enclosure.Today he isn't moving around much at all he is...
