Nice photo series of her growth

This is one of mine, two of the others have molted and are a little lighter.....

Just to update my post from April..... I did get my 2 Orchid mantids I ordered and were packed well and in good shape.   I received them almost 5 weeks after I ordered.   I just wished there was more communication like I got from other mantid breeders/sellers, especially after a long delay like...

I was a pomelo (citrus) seedling I was growing before planting outside.  

Sweet looking bunch.....I hope one of mine gets a little green.  The nymphs I got are pretty dark right now.

I have a Nikon DSLR with a 105mm Macro Lens.

I am not sure.  I've had them for just over a week and had molted.  I was told they were L4 or L5 when I bought them .

These guys arrive Friday.  I hydrated and fed them and let them alone for the night.  Saturday I decided to get pictures and this one was very cooperative.

Some pictures from today.....I hope you guys aren't getting tire of my pic posts.

Picture update...they are growing fast.  You can even see the tell tale markings on the wing (2nd picture) showing that it is a c. gemmatus.

I think it is a Fittonia

They are too cute...but I guess I am being biased.  :D

Nice, very lucky mantis!!!

I received my order from MantisKindom for 6 Creobroter and some BB Fly pupae.  All were nicely packed and arrived healthy (even the one that molted in transit).  As soon as i transferred them to their larger home and misted them, they all gobbled up fruit flies without any hesitation.  I would...

I was one of the ones posting on the "Getting Impatient" thread as well.   I too got nervous after a month of no replies and sent a request to PayPal for a refund. Paypal went thru their process of contacting the vendor and after 10 days, PayPal emailed me back stating that they have sided on my...

Your Callimantis has some badonkadonk going on.....LOL

Finally got some Indian Flower Mantids (first time for this species).  I thought I'd take some pictures after they had settled down and eaten.

If in doubt use both, glue half strip of mesh on cloth cover or a strip of cloth on a mesh cover.  I always gave my chameleons options and it should apply for climbing insects too.  I would also give several vertical climbing options too. Just make sure the weave on the mesh is small enough to...

During the first week of each hatch I did.  As I feed them (outside in my garden) the ones that felt like escaping got to go free range and the ones that stayed in the cups got fat.  I slowly started separating to more cups as I cleaned and eventually had 12 cups from the 3 ooths that hatched...

Nice shot.....your description sounds like material for a Trump joke.  LOL
