No they don't need springtails when little. Melanogaster is fine for them. The female was so fat, it refused food. The female has been adult since Jan 18.

Excellent first transaction with him! He is very helpful with lots of knowledge, he updates you on everything that is happening, and he really really satisfied me. Although I was worried it didn't come as expected, everything came GREAT! He even labeled my mantids the species name, it's...

First adult pair mantis package from Mantis Monarch: OH DAMN! so I received my FIRST EVER adult pair of Miomantis Binotatas from Mantis Monarch and decided to breed them (:  Of course, I fed them beforehand. The female ate partial of a roach (I thought it would fill her up) and the male ate...

hi y'all! ive always wanted more of a variety of feeder insects for my mantids and saw a really good deal online for dubias. I also bought the roach chow that was their food if mixed with water. just today, i received them! Everything came perfect. They were in 2 raggy bags and I knew I had to...

welcome Cheryl!! hope you find everything on this forum useful.

hello, i am looking to buy any pairs (confirmed sexes: male & female) of any beginner species (ex: hierodula sp., ghost, creobroter sp., stagmomantis, egyptian, carolinas, etc.) either pre sub-adult or sub-adult or adult. please let me know, if adult, when they have last molted. thanks...

Woah, really? Thanks for the input!! 

I just got in 5 wild caught Chinese oothecas. I'm planning on taking 2 out in the summer or spring, but how long should the others stay in the fridge? I've looked back at the archives and no one mentioned the maximum length of a diapause, only that diapause isn't necessary. I plan to keep the...

she is doing much better now!! i don't think she'll be limping to the side anymore (: i guess she just needed to harden, thats all. 

hahaha nicee!!

Sorry to hear that Cosby. Good luck with your collection!

Wow then that totals up to 30 just for one species!! I plan to keep about 5-9 of each species, and I thought that was plenty for breeding, since only one pair is needed for one ooth, but that was until I figured that ooths can't always be fertile even though they were mated.  still can't...

OMG REALLY? Wow, this is so astonishing XD

i hope he makes it out okay, good luck to you bro

how did this ever happen? i think i have had this experience and it turned out bad for me... sorry man

Ahhh yes, I see. Thanks for letting me know!! 

Thanks guys! I'll let you know if her left side is fine. I feel so proud and responsible (:

I have some L. Minor ooths for sale/trade. They were bought from Yen and are not confirmed fertile since they are wild-caught in AZ. These are a really small species (L1's require springtails) and difficult to raise, as i heard from another person that has dealed with this species many years...

yes i got SUPER LUCKY!! i didnt think mantids would react this way before molting 0: usually, when i see this: dragging abdomen, loosen grip, i think about the mantis having its last few breaths. idk, i just felt like a hero. finally experiencing something, not exciting, but scary and serious.
