Merry Xmas hysteresis wish you all the very best!

Aaaaah good to know.  Thanx and merry Xmas !

Hey guys anyone here familiar with rapashi superfly food? i have 3 cultures that seem to have a layer of lighter discolouration at the exact same place. I followed the instructions to a T. is this normal?

Looking forward to start trading

On the top of my wish list is the Thistle Mantis. I won’t try now since I keep hearing how difficult they are to keep but I do hope to breed them one day.

Maybe mist the substrate whenever it’s completely dry (almost every day) and every 2nd or 3rd day mist the ooth itself? should I be misting both the substrate AND the ooth? Won’t it be too much? I worry about rot.

Than let’s support each other, IF my spiny flower mantis Ooths hatch, I’ll trade you a future Ooth!! i now have a total of 6 Ooths incubating. I purchased them from a very very reliable breeder from this forum. He is well loved and respected. I don’t want to mention who he is since technically...

He wouldn’t commit to an answer, he had a nasty take it or leave it attitude. Also repeating that he doesn’t guarantee live arrival. God I’m such an optimist...in this case to a fault.

Very good idea! I’ll never be tempted like that again. I felt so bad when I found the little nymph. I have a feeling he shipped it dead already!  A real J@ck@$$! Than again I’m the one who did business with him. still can’t belueve I was that dumb

❤️  will do! 

I know I know. pure impulse. I was madly intoxicated with the idea of having one. 0 common sense. i have no idea what I was thinking.

Some guy from Poland. yes I was that stupid and desperate.

I freakin love this forum! Thank you

I just did for greater are of Montreal. The only hit I found was some guy selling dart frogs.  If he has dart frogs thn he’s got fruit flies. Good to know.

Yeah but here’s the problem. i live in Montreal! of all the pet shops we have here, there was only 1 place that sells fruit flies. Just one place. Everywhere else is crickets and mealworms. We all know nymphs can’t do crickets and mealworms. And that 1 place only had 1 fruit fly culture left...

Smart advice that I will follow for all future purchases. I apologize for the misleading title, I had initially thought it was a shipment of Ooths that I was eagerly waiting for. I thought maybe customs removed the ooths and shipped me an empty box. I inspected the dead grass and found what...

Ah I didn’t know I should mist the ooth directly. I was worried about it growing fungus or something. i will do that now actually i think with the flies I was just terrified of having hungry babies I can’t feed. Have I bitten more than I can chew?  .......probably!

Man it must have been 3 weeks!  Its entirely my fault, idiot me I just trusted the first source. I wanted a mantis so bad I just jumped at the first selling one. lesson well learned. downright embarrassing

This is what happens when you ignorantly order a mantis from an unreliable source. You get a bunch of dead fruit flies and a dead little nymph.

No heat pack, we did not want it detected at the border.  A gamble we had to take.
