Got another package, very well packed. Went out of her way to make sure the mantis would not get hurt during shipping : ) Excellent person to talk and trade with!

He'll be fine. The deformity usually happens when the mantis takes too long to get out of the molt and the exoskeleton already starts hardening while it's still in the molt, hence the curve. It'll fix itself with subsequent molts, and unless the leg is getting in the way (aka getting tangled...

If it's anything like D. Lobata they'll keep you waiting till at least 8-10 weeks. At least >.<

Everything that we do as humans ends up having a huge impact on the environment. From over-harvesting natural resources to breeding insects and releasing non-native species that destroy existing ecosystems. So yes, eventually it will cause a toll on the species. Collecting ooths, trapping and...

Received another package, very well packaged and everything came alive like always : ) Excellent breeder with a lot of knowledge about mantises too. He even went out of his way to package all the nymphs separately though he didn't have to!

The two of my ooths hatched pretty on-time on the 6 week mark, they were kept at room temperature 75-80 degF. D. Lobata like to take their time with everything, from laying ooths to hatching to molting...

Amazing! First time seeing adult pictures and they are soooo cute ^^ What's her size? She looks tiny in the pictures!

If you up the humidity right when that happens, he'll have a little more time to straighten out his wings before they harden. Once hardened there's nothing much you can do about it. For males it shouldn't matter if their wings are messed up, most of mine don't even notice it. If you see it...

May have just been his time to move on. Sorry for your loss! But you did a great job keeping him : )

Was the roach fully eaten? I can't see the "yellow bubble" but there is a possibility it may have been blood from the mantis or roach. Some roaches do fight back and will end up injuring/killing a mantis. Considering his age, it could've been a number of things, though honestly 14 months is a...

Received a package from him. Very well packaged! Seller communicated tracking and arranged shipping very promptly. And due to his professional handling, everything arrived safe and sound. Happy to have ordered from him : )

Miomantis species can hatch a couple nymphs without mating, but the hatch size will be nowhere near the usual amount. What do you have the ooth in currently? Let the ooth harden for a week or so, and then gently try to peel it off. If it doesn't come off, remove it at the container wall with a...

You need to put the nymphs in a container that you can seal (a cup, plastic box, whatever you want to use). Cut some ventilation into the container, usually 2 full sides of a container will be sufficient and then glue some paper towel or VERY FINE mesh to finish up. If you use mesh make sure...

Could be a ghost ooth? What did breeder say it was?

Does he grab and then chew? Or just start chewing? If you wave your finger around infront of him chances are he'll think its food and try to grab and attempt to eat it. That's normal for any mantis that's hungry, just means he's not timid. If he bends down and just starts chewing he might be...
