That is very interesting about the natural light possibly helping to turn them pink or purple. Yes, I think temperature may have something to do with the purple/pink coloring because I was keeping many Spiny flower mantis nymphs cool, down in the 70s F. But then when I warmed the Spiny flower...

Hello! I have a recently molted Orchid mantis adult male that I would like to trade or sale. If anyone needs an Orchid mantis male maybe we could make a deal for some Orchid mantis nymphs if you are to be successful in mating and breeding with my male? PM if interested!

Hello. I had a Giant Asian mantis ootheca hatch recently. And now those Giant Asian mantis nymphs are turning L2. I have a small number of them to offer for sale at $9 each, or $7 if you buy 3 or more. I can guarantee live arrival with 2-3 day Priority mail. But you will have to pay for...

I am out of Texas unicorn mantises. Sorry! Hello. I have a bunch of Texas unicorn mantis L5~L6 nymphs that I would like to sale or trade. They are $4 each if you buy 7 or more. Or $3 each if you buy 20 or more. The Texas unicorn mantis is said to be a communal species. But I have had them...

I love roaches. I am on the roachforum, too. There are some roach groups on Facebook that are great. The Turkestan roaches that I have are cold hardy and seem to be able to survive our winters okay outside here in North Carolina. I did take them in once it got down to the teens F though just...

Hello. I have too many Ghost mantis L2-L3 nymphs. So I am lowering the price. $4 each if you buy 10 or more, or $3.50 each if you buy 20 or more. Shipping will be about $25 for a medium sized box for 2-3 Day Priority Mail, with a 96 hour heat pack and insulation. I can guarantee live...

I did a trade with Jon (https://mantidforum.net/members/jon.8472/) recently for a Gooty Saphire Ornamental tarantula. All went well. He sent a forest scorpion, too, as a surprise. I have not had a scorpion before and I am excited to raise one.

Hello I have some Giant Asian mantis pre-sub and sub-adults for sale. I don't have any established cockroach colonies, and I don't want to have to buy crickets every week, so I am looking for someone who will buy these. They are $15 per pair. I can guarantee live arrival with 2-3 day Priority...

Oh, wow! Nice. I have adult female Ghost mantids in 32oz containers with fabric lids and window screening glued to the sides of the containers for grip. I used a hot glue gun for gluing the window screening.

Welcome! There was another person from North Carolina post here on the Introduce Yourself forum recently. I am from North Carolina, too.

Hi. I am running low on 96 hour heat packs, but I have some 60 hour heat packs still. I am going to ship some mantises soon to California and other places. Would 60 hour heat packs last long enough for 2-3 Day Priority Mail?

Hello. I have a bunch of Texas unicorn mantis L4~L5 nymphs that I would like to sale or trade. They are $7 each, or $6 each if you buy 3 or more, or $4 each if you buy 7 or more. The Texas unicorn mantis is said to be a communal species. But I have had them eat each other when not well fed...

I don't think any Texas unicorn mantises are pre-sub adult yet. But I have some that are somewhat older, maybe L6 or L7.

Yes, actually I do happen to have one sub-adult Ghost mantis male. Are you in need of a male? He was slowed down in growth so that I didn't have to feed him for months I think. I kept him cold. I just started keeping him warmer again a couple weeks ago, and have fed him and given him water...

Yes, I agree with hibsicusmile that it is about time it should have hatched since you got it when the ootheca was brown color which means it was already older. Cooler temperatures might make oothecas take longer to hatch though.

Wow, great! Maybe you could meet me here at the seminary in Wake Forest, and I could give you some Ghost mantis nymphs. I have a bunch now. I also have way too many Texas unicorn mantis nymphs if you would like a bunch of those.

To return the ootheca wouldn't the ootheca have to be intact?

Yes, as Hibiscusmile said, they were not fresh because they were brown in color. Fresh Ghost oothecae are green in color. So they should be ready to hatch soon if they were good. I have several Ghost oothecas hatching now. They don't take that long to hatch after they turn brown. It is the...
