Beautiful green/blue color with pink colors on the insides of the raptoral claws and part of the abdomen! Wish I could mate her but can not find any males.  Looking for a good home to take care of her through her adulthood. Very easy to care for and she is easily held(she’s giant!) Pm for...

Hello and welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the forum! Mantids are such wonderful creatures.

Just keep the female regularly. You can put some sticks in to help her lay. Just get her real fat so she’ll lay a big, healthy ooth. My female took almost 2 months to lay her first ooth.

Hello and welcome 

I have a very limited amount of G. Amoena nymphs(L1). I can ship while L1 though it is safer to hold off till L2(which I can do). This is a very pretty flower mantis species that stay small and cute. I can send pictures if you are serious though you can find some online. PM me for questions...

Seems like they are ready. It’s really a pretty easy species to breed despite the aggression. Just feed the female something big... put her in the males enclosure and make her start moving around so the male can see her. Then once the male climbs/flies on be ready for the pissiest female in the...

Welcome Dan!

Yeah. I have a carolina ooth that was laid in October and still not hatched... just give it some time.

Welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the forum! Lucky you. Seems like you already have quite the amazing species! 

Ah damnit... that’s too bad. You gave it a good try though and even got some beautiful females to adult! Im going to be giving this species another try... this time with some more experience and preparation. I’m gonna hopefully hatch a few ooths so I should HOPEFULLY get a good chance with this...

Hello and welcome!

Nice. My female laid her largest third but then died shortly after... not sure why she passed. She wasn’t that old.  On a higher note one of my G. Amoena oothecas hatched! Only 7 nymphs so far but not sure how many they usually hatch. They are pretty big for L1s!

@CosbyArt yeah it certainly sounds like a process to go searching for many nymphs. i would love to put together a caresheet but I have yet to hatch ooths or raise little nymphs of this species so I will probably wait until my next gen are laying ooths before I give my input. Great idea though 

Yep they are great! I got 3 fertile ooths I’m waiting on from one of my females. The other mated female escaped earlier so maybe I’ll have little babies all over the place

Sorry for your loss... I personally had no problems with net cages. Yeah though I am switching it up now that they are subs...

@Arcticfaux yep! I love the pseudoacanthops! They literally have little strands of moss looking stuffing hanging off of them. I have a small group of them too so I plan on breeding! @CosbyArt yeah the adults are really impressive! I love the red(?) coloring on their abdomen below their wings!
