Yesturday I had a mantis begin to molt on the side of a 32oz cup. Gripping nothing but plastic. And as a result he fell. Whenever I had a mantis fall while molting I would automatically assume that there is nothing I can do to help. I decided to tape his back two legs to the lid of his...

Welcome to the forum!  @Ocelotbren i also recommend macro lenses for phones, super inexpensive and you can take a pretty cool picture. Here's a pic I took of my ghost mantis using a cheap macro lens. Link to the macro lens i use (if your interested ...

Ghost ooth for sale: Laid 1/15/18   Ive seen the male on the female more than 10 times over the few weeks and the female just laid an ooth yesterday. Unknown if fertile. Pm me if interested.

I was walking home and reading this. When I was walking it looked pre sub but I just got home and took a look at it now sitting down.  Im not sure if it’s actually pre sub  Yup it’s presub -> subadult -> adult 

Pre sub 

Ive ordered from mantisplace a few times so far and she has by far the best fruit fly cultures. I highly recommend her cultures and feeder insects!

One of my top favorite mantises! i had a nice big female i cared till adult hood. Im guessing yours is presub?

Welcome!

i was going to separate them this morning but i saw that the male was on top of the female again. I let them be for the rest of the day. When i got home the male was still on top of the female and from the looks of it i dont think he connected at all. 

Ive kept them together for a week now. Ive been sick in bed and cant do much. male shows no signs of interest, ill separate them and up the temps.

i constantly have sleep paralysis and see people and things surrounding me. I learned to lucid dream where if i continue the sleep paralysis i can eventually feel myself leaving my body. I can sometimes see myself sleep and walk around my house. Pretty freaky but cool experience.

Thanks for everything! I really appreciate the tips and tricks!  

found him ontop of her last night. They didnt connect for a few hours so i just separated them. Woke up this morning and checked on them and hes ontop of her again. Now im going to fully separate them in different enclosures haha. 

Im pretty sure its too early for my male. hes been an adult for a week now. The female has been an adult for three weeks now. 

Hey everyone, i separated my ghosts for a few days now and i put the female in the males enclosure this morning and the male completely ignored the female. I left them alone for the day and around 7PM i saw the male was on the females back! yay! But after checking every hour or so and the male...

congrats and happy holidays!

From what I’ve seen I’m my containers and enclosures, humidity tends to drop. If you have a hydrometer you can test and see what the humidity actally is in the enclosure. It’s still always good to mist so the mantis will have available water to drink and stay hydrated. ive always misted my...
