These are all gone Thanks! I have a handful of L4 and L5 (presub, I believe) G. Amoena nymphs for sale. I’ve had them for a short time, but now I realize that they’re WAY too much for me. Feeding time is close to 3 hours every day. And I just don’t have the availability to keep that up.  So...

Welcome to the forum!  As most have already said, they are definitely fruit fly pupae. They probably fell out of the cup when the mantids were being fed. heres a pic of one of my cultures. you can see that they are the same

@Major Check here for some H. Majuscula:  http://mantidsgalore.com/product/herodula-majuscula-giant-rainforest-mantis/ She’s got a handful of presubs for a decent price. And I’ve worked with Patty before, and she is pretty consistently awesome!

I agree with Connor, especially about the shipping from Poland. I had a friend who ordered around $100 worth of nymphs from Exo, and he only had one nymph survive the trip, and it died soon after it arrive. The box spent about two weeks in shipping, if I remember correctly. And with the weather...

I agree with Synapze, but definitely see the merit in the very descriptive reply from ohaple. Mantids, in my opinion, are what you make them, cost-wise.  For example, my first exotic mantids (God bless my ignorance 😂) were a L5 orchid female and a L3 orchid male. (As a side note, from someone...

Here’s a video that looks a lot like your’s, but they don’t know the name. I think mantisgirl13 is definitely correct

Just got a couple ooths from him, both appear to be in good shape. Also threw in another D. Desiccata, so now I’ve got 4. As always, a pleasure to work with. Definitely going to do more with him in the future 

Just bought a bunch more stuff from Deshawn, and once again, I am very pleased with the speed of the transaction, the packing, and the communication.  10/10

Welcome to the forum! If you have any questions, feel free to ask me! I might not know as much as the next hobbyist, but I’m always open to a good chat!

I’m a bit late, but welcome!!

What’s this? I’ve been tagged! (I don’t know how I’ve missed this thread until now).  First off, welcome to the forum!! This is an amazing place, filled with even better individuals. Before you know it, you’ll be a master of keeping mantids! Now if you’re looking for some Creobroters, as...

Hehe Just thought I’d share this picture. She molted a little too close to the bottom of the enclosure, and she is “mismolted” lol. I think this is perhaps the funniest mismolt I’ve seen recently. She’s technically perfect, but her crown, well, you can see for yourself. Now I can easily see...

Just got 7 Hierodula membranacea nymphs (only ordered 6), and they all look amazing. Communication was excellent, he responded to all my inquiries really fast. Allow me to share the timeline: Day one: initial message, answered, deal made, shipped day two: delivered.  What else can be said? He...

I’ve got about 25 more Creobroters (gemmatus, I think) that are nearly ready to molt to L2. They are currently 1.5 weeks old, so they should molt either this week or next. I am going to go ahead and put them up for sale, and I will send them out once they reach L2, either this Monday or the...

Just received 3 D. Desiccata nymphs from him, all look healthy, strong, and quite lively. He also threw in a Carolina ooth, and some melanogaster FFs. And as I’m sure we all know, more feeders = more happiness ? Overall, it was an excellent experience, and I’ll definitely be trading/buying from...

Usually this means that a wild fruit fly made its way into the culture. I had this happen with a culture recently, and I was very careful to not use it to make new ones. The problem died with the culture ?. You can still obviously use it for food, that’s what I did.  The only other thing...

Welcome to the Forum!

Just did a trade deal with him, and I am very pleased with how it went. I traded a handful of mantids for a rare tarantula (of which I had no idea how to keep). He was exemplary in his responses to my questions, even though I asked him 2-3 per day. When I finally decided what to get, he was...

This has been given away Thanks! Ian Species is P. spinigerus, I believe. It’s about 1.5-2 inches long from tip of claws to end of stinger. Got it originally because I thought it’d be cool (which it is!), but I just don’t have space for it anymore (just had another Creobroter ooth hatch, and...

Can’t speak for the others, but it’s fine with chinese. I tested it the past three years, first gen. inbred is fine, second gen. has a few more die off, but is fine overall. Third generation, however, had a 100% mortality rate by L3.  So to answer your question, it should be fine, but for no...
