Made a trade with Jaunte a few days ago, and I have nothing but positive things to say. He sent me two beautiful ghost ooths (larger than I was expecting) and he is very understanding and easy to talk to.

I’ve never tried gecko food, but honey and fruit do pretty well for me.

You should try drawing a Stenophylla. Dragon mantises are the coolest.

Those are great!

Hello! I have a Deroplatys desiccata ooth up for grabs. Interested in a trade, but I am willing to sell it. Also contact me if you have info on adult male or ooths of Astyliasula phyllopus (ex. Hestiasula major), pairs or ooths of Zoolea sp., Metilia ooths, Pseudacanthops ooths, and Acanthops ooths.

Yep. Window screen works great for me too. When I had a whole bunch of aluminum mesh lids, that’s what I used to save my babies feet (and keep tiny fruit flies in).

Besides eating less often like you mentioned, there isn’t really a difference, although Minty may be way more jumpy and eager to fly.

Hello! Interested in Zoolea Lobipes or any other Zoolea species. Want to try to breed them again.

Photo dump coming up:

Circle near the head shows the thick antennae. The oval shows the abdominal segments. Another thing to notice with the segments is If you look at the very last segment, for females it is the largest and most prominent, while for males it’s the smallest and sometimes the hardest to see. The...

I know, I wish my male survived, but I guess it’s just nature. I’ll send you some Creobroter gemmatus adult pictures once I get a chance.😊😊😊

Those pictures help a lot. Little Minty is definitely a male! I’ll show you why once I get a minute (so you can tell easier in the future).

Yep they were mine 😊, sadly she ate my only male at the time before I could mate her.

Photo of hungry vs. well fed Creobroter gemmatus (Jeweled flower mantis (the species I think am pretty sure you have)). mantismeet.com is a good place to get information from other experts.

Adult female. Notice how thick her physique is compared to the males? Look at the downward pointing triangle at the end of her body, and also how her wings reach only the end of her abdomen. Can you see how thin her antennae are? They are so thin they are hard to see.

Adult male. Some things to notice are how long and thick his antennae are. Look how far the wings extend past the abdomen. Also look at the cup shaped end of his abdomen. Notice how his physique is quite thin?

The following are videos of adult Creobroter sp. Giant. Yours looks to be a Creobroter gemmatus 😊. I’ll send some pictures of those in a minute or two.

Males also have longer, thicker antennae.
