You’re females are growing way faster than mine!! My males are popping to L7 and I still have an L4 female.

B. borealis?

Welcome!

Yep :(

Same thing happened to my female, same age, same instar nymphs :(

I probably could.

Not blood, vomit. Maybe just wait a bit.

I use normal priority or express shipping for more sensitive species.

Hold food to its mouth for it to eat. Who knows, it could make it to the next molt

Welcome!

No. If the mantis is bit it’s all over. Just put them outside. Not worth the risk.

Welcome!

There are more available in EU and UK than the us ;)

Warm like mid 80’s, humid, flying prey, from what I’ve seen people use fog machines to keep it moist. People also use planted tanks with tulle on top so I would guess they need good ventilation. I’ve seen them with pothos and spider wood.

Pictures of the “sick” ones would help. It could also be mature males dying off.

If you do breed them, shoot me a PM

I recommend trying to breed him with a female and see what comes from it.

Add some holes in rows on the sides and you will be all set. I recommend keeping the enclosure simple, bacteria and mold congregate in coco fiber. Maybe just use a popsicle stick for the enclosure climbing material and paper towel as the substrate and swap it 2x a week.

Use 32oz deli cups, poke holes in lines along the sides, have a mesh lid on the top. @Ilovemybirdies can give more info than I.

DON’T use mason jars. They have waaay to little ventilation, it’s a great way to kill an orchid.
