She laid last night or this morning :) .

@CosbyArt I am scared that my female iris oratoria is egg bound, she last laid about three weeks ago and has a large cage with bark and branches. And plenty of room as she is in a large critter keeper and gets fed quite a bit. I am just so worried 

Roaches and isopods are two that come to mind and I know you can find different color morphs in some cultures and breed those and youcan end up with a ton of the color morph,  like I am working on getting my albiono orange P. Laevis to get to good nuber so I can isolate that morph in a separate...

Me too LOL

After watching the orcid mantis unboxing I want one. Why does usda have to ruin the hobby :( I would love to have a few.

The video has been removed. I might have to PM you to ask you what it was about so I can keep an eye out to not buy/trade with him.

What voicemail are you referring to?

Gotta catch'em all. Welcome @Mantismama

Haha, thanks

What set up do you use?

I enjoyed your video! I really like the end were it shows the culture in just two weeks 

I don't normally name my mantids (I should) but my female iris is named honeysuckle :) for some reason i really like that name for her. I also had a unicorn mantis that was named Fredrick or Fred for short, but a friend came up with that name.

I am not giving up. Last year I found ten, I hope to find at least a few more.  I might check back again at my close collecting spot I find them at, then in about a month I am spending a few days in another spot. And then check another spot also. it's going to be difficult but I will not give...

These as nymphs remind me of Arizona unicorn mantis nymphs

I have used sticks that haven't been cleaned before but they were in the hot sun for awhile but like i said it's best to make sure that you aren't going to bring any pest so it's best to bake or boil them

Thanks. Wow now that you say it, they do :) I love there arms and just everything about this speices is cool. They would look even more like Yoshi is there wing saddle was red! LOL :)

I love the look of them, but if you are looking for aggressive speices similar I would try gaint African mantids or iris. My iris female will sometimes kill a meal worm or her meal just to take a few bites and make sure it's dead. I do live the little saddle wings in this speices 

If you do ship I suggest using a insulated shipping box with a few heat packs. And I would take a few off you hands :) (I am in Arizona)

Welcome, I have used sticks from outside but I suggest boiling them so they don't bring anything like small bugs or stuff like that. A mantis molts about seven times in its life and you can tell if it's going to molt if they don't ecept food or if later if there close to adult sometimes if they...

Just noticed that in my photo up above you can see my two unicorn mantids photo bombing the picture LOL  :D
