Hello, I am interested in your extra ooths. Please contact me if you have extras. Thanks

Looking for an ootheca, any kind is of interest. Please let me know if you have something available. Thanks

Interesting. I hope you can keep them alive, are they eating?

hmmm, was that its first try? 

Hey Omar, Nice pictures. I like how the nymphs look so different from adults. Those guys look neat.  I hope you are enjoying em!

Lookin good. Who needs a mescal worm when you have a mantids?

Hey Omar Congrats, I told you not to give up! Hope you are having fun with your babies :)

First times are always interesting aren't they. I remember being intrigued by them little maggots crawling around. Im glad you are enjoying success with your culturing. There's several more things you can grow for live foods and tons of info on here how to do so. Roaches, black soldier flies...

Woohoo, my quails are mature. I just got my first egg!  and the circle of life continues:)

Theres a fellow on here who has posted some updated stuff on many if not all north american species. That might be a good place to start, Im trying to recall his user name..

I resolved not to make a resolution last year. Since that proved so successfull I'm going to try for 2/2!

Who gives a  truck? Ever have mantis shrimp? They're foot long ocean mantids, though I've heard them called cockroaches of the sea... I would love some as pets and some as food : D

haha, I like that:)

If you use the net to check out the average temperatures in the region your mantid of interest comes from, thatd be one way to get an idea, but besides the common chinese and european mantids any north american species should be fine.

 Yeah they are pretty good jumpers too, I've almost lost one who jumped while i was looking away:o

Good luck!

Haha sick. Im all for free ranging bugs but, not even I would do that! You might consider trying black soldier flies instead, they are nice n non smelly or slimey :)

Semms odd right? Try holding one in your hand long enough and it will give a good bite attempting to eat. I think the bites strong enough that the first one breaks the exo and then its too late to do anything... 

When I had ooths shipped to me in winter  the ones that did hatch usually take a bit extra time. I think the cold slows developement time down. I hope you get a few good hatches:)
