I've been mating the females so fingers crossed! @MantisGirl13

Haven't posted in a bit, here are some pictures of a species I've been lucky enough to work with.

Sold as sp Costa Rica. Not enough males for successful breeding. Will pay or trade, I have some interesting species.

Welcome back!

Here are some additions to the above. Thanks for the comments! Theopompa ophthalmica third instar: Galinthias amoena ~fifth instar: Presub male T. pantherina: Pseudacanthops sp presub male and D. truncata first instar: Pseudacanthops sp. presub female hanging out on some...

Anyone have any tricks with these? I'm not sure if my eyes are starting to get bad but they are very difficult to sex for me at ~L4-5.

Deal was smooth, great packaging, and even sent extra! Quick communication and a pleasure to deal with 

Thank you! Here are some more proud mothers, all have laid multiple ooths and still going strong. 

No attacks. Most of them live communally so they don't really cause problems

Just a few photos recently.  Representatives of their groups and instar, L to R in the image: Pseudacanthops sp (4)., Deroplatys truncata (2), Tarachodula pantherina (4), Idolomantis diabolica (2), Tagalomantis sp. (1) Idolomantis diabolica adult female with WC locust prey. Just to be...

Great packing, extremely generous, and prompt responses. This type of person is what the hobby needs more of. Always an absolute pleasure!

I have breeding pairs I'll be parting ways with, females are presub and males are 1 shed behind.  I also have have second instar non-sexed nymphs for grabs. All are captive raised and bred, PM me if interested!

Prompt responses and got more than I paid for. Great transaction and packing!

Yet another ooth hatched, 77 from this female's 4th ooth.  These nymphs are very hardy at first instar, so I am comfortable shipping them as such.  $100/10. I try to keep groups small to encourage spreading to multiple people, which is better long-term for the hobby. If you really want >10...

Unfortunately my males did not make it to breed.  Typically I will give any resulting nymphs for FREE to the resulting dealer (even if I pay for the mantids outright). I'll pay cash, and/or trade with some Deroplatys truncata.  PM me if you can help.

Involved in a trade recently and was very impressed with the packing, some of the best I've seen over the years. Specimens arrived healthy!

Prompt shipping, great packing, reasonable price. Got exactly what was paid for.

Bought some house and blue bottle flies from the website. They came promptly and extremely well packed. Thank you!

For sure, but I'm pretty sure I walked by quite a few mantids without seeing them. I wish there was a way to see just how many I actually miss!

Welcome back!
