Hey there and welcome to the forums! 

Was feeding my Lobata today when my male Osiris gotten offended by me moving some sticks around.

Like other have said for ghosts I've been fine with just misting their containers, and like @Zeppy44 mentioned if your house has very low humidity (which is pretty common during winter due to heating) then it might be something to look into a room humidifier to pair up with misting to keep...

Well it's going to vary here based on a few variables, that being how well the pheromones travel through the air and essentially how well the other mantis would be able to detect the pheromone in the air, similar to how a shark can sense blood in very small ppm amounts in water.  With how close...

I used to be a huge anxiety sufferer that slowly became a pretty bad case of agoraphobia.  It was to the point where being outside of my house was a discomfort so bad that it would make me pretty badly nauseous.  I'm glad that over time I managed to learn ways to cope with my anxieties and...

Great advice, as someone who works on computers all day I think I wouldn't survive without some time outside away from a screen.

Update for my situation was that they were out of stock of the mantises for my order and it would be 7-10 days till they would get more stock.  That message was from March 3rd, I was hoping for a message when they get back in stock I notice that they are available according to the webpage but...

I wanted to see if anyone had any available for purchase.  PM me if so and we can work out the details.

I use a Canon Rebel T6 with a 100mm F/2.8 Macro lens for my pictures.  I when I was going through all the photos I was glad I got this shot in the end since it does have a really cool effect with the focus,  I'm hoping with time I can get these types of shots on purpose but for now I'm ok with...

Hatched my first ooth and I'm looking to get some experience with shipping out nymphs. They are L3-L4. Pricing all nymphs at $4 BOGO free. Shipping will be $8.35 priority and include a heat pack. Shipping within the US only from East Stroudsburg PA, 18302. Message me if interested. 

I was originally going to add a bunch more photos but I ended up getting a bit tired tonight so I'll end up doing that another time.  So for now I just wanted to add my favorite ghost mantis picture in here, I sadly don't recall who this is since I never named the picture and it's been a while...

I was wondering what's up with my order, I had placed it on the 8th and yeah there were the storms and such that I would have rather wait but then there was the week of the 19th where the weather was beautiful.  I waited and decided to email you I believe after that week to see what's been going...

Hi there and welcome to the forum, they're definitely awesome to keep.  You might also want to message jrh3, he's a user on here that had a lot of interest in bringing the Texas Unicorn mantis back into the hobby and was looking for people to keep an eye out for any of them or their ooths.  I'm...

I'm sure he'll be fine, as long as you don't knock him down while he's molting you should be ok.

In addition light plays a role in mold growth as well, if you use heating lights then you already have that taken care of but if you use heating pads then maybe a few LEDs or placing it where more natural light might help out.  But still the biggest factors will still be moisture and ventilation

They're definitely intelligent but I'm not certain on cognizant though, but it's possible.  I think a lot of what's difficult or at least what I think about a lot is how much easier it is for the human mind to attribute characteristics to something that we relate to easier.  With a mantis, it...

Yeah I think you'll be fine with that, I prefer raw honey in most circumstances just because they have all the pollen, wax, bee bits that a mantis would get when they would encounter it in their natural environment.  I give honey to my mantids pretty regularly since I always have at least a...

Awesome video! What's that song by the way?

Hey there and welcome to the forum!  Glad to see that more Pennsylvanians are joining in, must be contagious.  Could I ask where in PA you're at?

I'm sorry for your loss  :(
