what got you interested in keeping mantis?
I bought an ooth from a home improvement store and hatched it out. I did it for my garden pests (I've been corrected since then and no longer release Chinese mantids). When I released them one crawled on my hand and wouldn't climb off... So I decided to keep it. That led to my obsession and I...- Synapze

Who likes the Peruvian leaf mantises (Pseudoxyops perpulchra)?
I think they're beautiful but can be a headache to breed. The females are often so aggressive that breeding is difficult. So, I suggest having a few extra males standing by. 😁- Synapze

Grain mites in fruit flies

Wing problem after final molt..
No, it's not stupid at all. You didn't fail him. You loved him, cared for him, and if you raised him to adulthood... you did a good job. Many keepers find orchids difficult to raise, so don't be too rough on yourself. Love is never wasted... the world needs more. ❤️- Synapze

Ooth Incubator
What type of putty do you use? I'm still using a low heat glue gun. Not on the ooth itself of course, but on the stick they laid on.- Synapze

Tips on mantis preservation
It's seems they lose some color over time. @Firenkyo is right about the alcohol. Like they said the liquid does evaporate annoyingly fast. I filled one of my specimen jars with alcohol and sealed it with a rubber stopper and dipped the top of the bottle neck with a hard sealing wax... it still...- Synapze
