    Bacterial infection?

    my grandis and asian mantis doesnt have it, i guess the black spots are caused by bad molts, malnutrition( being fed one species of bug almost all the time), usually feeding crickets can cause this growth, i feed my grandis and asian mantids roaches, moths and craneflies and they have became...

    Spiny flower color changes

    All i use is red fake flowers and they turn red almost in one day-one molt, but when they do turn red in one day they only have a light shade of it and can only do this right after a molt. they do not need humidity to change colors. just use the color of your chioce objects for the mantis to...

    Nymph moults

    No matter what stage they are, an always true sign of molting is when their forearms are slightly spaced(i've seen this in every stage before molting) out for several days and another sign is that they usually are breathing slowly and deeply. Joe

    In shock?

    Most likely the food, if mantids die mysteriousely with out traces its because its internal, and is always by the food or a block in the mantid's sytem, one tiny bit of poisoning can kill a mantids, like rotten fruits, chemicals, mold, eaten by roches and/or crickets, or slightly dying insects...

    phyllocrania paradoxa

    it would be recomended from me if you keep them separate when young, i've lost 3 out of five in a community of ghosts by them eating each other. I dont think any mantids are communal so far, i've had violins eat each other, and grass mantids eat each other. thats just my opinion. I do think you...
