Ahh. Most likely a female then. 

It’s hard to see at that young of a age, usually there’s a extra two abdomen segments at the rear end othe mantis, you’ll know 100% in the next few molts.

I knew she was going to molt today, i misted her enclosure and moved out the male, i also turned the enclosure so i can take the perfect time lapse of her but she decided to go on the other side of the enclosure...darn it.... and i missed half of it...darn it haha  10:00pm Shes out and...

Right now my female sub ghost is molting to adult hood. Ive havent had mantises for two years and im worried to dead haha.

you can sell some and get mantis supplies thats the positive side of it.

Lucky. Ive never seen a wild mantis before...

I contacted them Friday last week to see if I can add to my order and they said hey already packaged mine.....3 days before shipping??? Haha it’s a joke to me now. And it’s delayed again till tomorrow. So hat means 6 days in a box......smh

Nymphs are way more skidding than adults. It honestly depends on the species. Some mantises will run, some will do threat displays, and some will use camouflage (but we see them) haha. 

How big is your mantis? Is it’s abdomen plump, or is t skinny? if you have to cut the wax worm in small pieces. Place a piece on the tip of a toothpick and place it carefully at the mantises mouth, it should eat it and hopefully grab onto it.

I bet it’s easier to ship ooths from country to country

After I got my new nymph I completely forgot how skittish they were. Almost lost mine behind my couch. 

Yea when is the last time your mantis ate?

I never used bean beatle let me know how big they are I think I might get some too.

my food chart from smallest to largest is melanogaster, house fly, blue bottle, then larger are mealworms, superworms, Brown moths located in Florida, and some roaches.

I only have 3 right now but more coming in tomorrow. 

Nah it’s easy! I promise you it is. The only thing kinda hard is feeding the females. When they are adults bbf are too small so I would feed mine super worms. 

Nah the the true monsters are female sphrodomantis gastricas. I’ve had a few females grab on to my finger and try to eat me for a snack. It hurt like crazy and I had to get my dad to help me pry a few off of me!

It depends if it’s old pupae from the earlier part of the culture. If that’s fresh pupae it will hatch soon. Is there any fly media left in the cup? You should see maggots squirming around the top of he media and know if there is more to come.

I need to get some more. I’ll save up for a ooth. :)

It was a Nano tall. I hatched a few orchid ooths and always had males. I’ve never had females to continue breeding. Males are too tiny for me. I’ve always wanted a female cause of the size.
