    Method for removing bit of extra exoskeleton from molt

    Oh! I didn't realize that, sorry! I've been keeping my ghost at around that humidity, and she wasn't taking off that little piece of skin. I saw a few members suggest this in mismolts, so I decided to try it myself. I'm glad it didn't go wrong! :(   Is there a way to delete posts? I don't want...

    Beginner Mantis Species?

However, I read a discussion that stated that they are more of an intermediate mantis to keep. Does anybody know what a good beginner's species is? I am keeping intermediate level mantises, I...

    Crazy resolution to molt accident

    A crazy thing happened yesterday! I ordered an African mantis, and I got two in the mail. I got an extra!  :D   But I noticed one of them was curled up and not moving and dry-looking. Thinking it was dead, I held it in my palm. But it was wiggling and twitching, and when a fresh, green head...
