Welcome! :)

They're all beautiful, but Ruin is especially stunning! 

Sounds like a good plan! 

Thanks, everyone! My mantids are all doing well right now. Ridley, my adult female R.  extensicollis, looks like she may lay her second infertile ooth for me soon. We've had her about 10 months now. Elf has been mature for about 2 months now, but has still not given me an ooth. She looks very...

It always amazes me how much they change with each molt! :D

Finally got a decent picture of my little Popa spurca, Tripod. This little one was a freebie with another order and came to me missing a leg. He has completely regenerated the missing leg now, but the name just kind of stuck. :)

He's very handsome! I love his long antenna.  :)

Looks great!

Congrats on your new cuties, and welcome! :)

Cool picture, molting is a fascinating process to watch!
