Cool shot....reminds me of some SciFi villan

I did the same thing with 3 ooths that I got from Amazon,  I ended up keeping a few and released the others in stages.  I released the first hatch keeping 6.  Then I released the 2nd and 3rd hatch after a week and then about a couple dozen after the 2nd molt to give them a head start since I had...

Unfortunately with the climate we do have, there are plenty of all types of predators (lizards) that keep the mantis population very small, so ooths are hard to find around my area.  The ones I have were from a ootheca that I bought from Amazon of all places LOL.  I kept 6 out of the first hatch...

Thank you sir.   I can't wait to get some more exotic looking mantids to model for me.  I do have an order for several Creobroter gemmatus.  Choppin' at the bit, waiting for the shipment.

Good Luck!!!  Keep us updated on its progress.

Awesome, never seen that mutation (or molt skipping) before.  Thanks for sharing

Some more pics of a couple of Chinese Mantids. For those curious on the equipment, Nikon 105mm Macro and a Speedlight (external Flash).

LOL, I was gonna ask if the blue armor was sufficient protection from those massive raptorials she is sporting?

Very Nice!!!

Nice video.....loving the mantis twerking.

nice shots, I hope to get some of these one day

Here are some of one that is a month older. https://goo.gl/photos/fbHRDQ3JiMPKQ5KfA I had a couple oothecas and I released all but 6 of the first hatch, and the second hatch (original pictures) happened a month later.  I almost gave up and was going to throw it away.  Those guys will also be...

Yes they are L1, they are just starting to eat.

One of a hundred Chinese Mantis Nymphs that hatched from an ootheca I bought.

I've tried Chat twice and email but still no answer to my inquiries about my order from March 25th.  I check every couple of days and my order status says "Unfufilled".  Payment has gone thru weeks ago via PayPal.  If is the fact I had the wrong type of shipping checked, I would correct it.  At...
