I'd have to respectfully disagree. Creobroter spp. are typically strong and can take down relatively larger prey compared to their body size. They only hit ~1.5" length while ghosts are ~2". Ghosts are much more communal.  Both are hardy and easy to raise and are tolerant of wide ranges of climates.

Presub female D. desiccata. She's got two more molts to adulthood.  A closeup of the wing buds could confirm it

Welcome

Welcome to the forum! I'm less than an hour north of Bucks County. I worked in St. Mary's hospital for a bit

Update: I have another ooth hatch of fresh captive-bred nymphs. Mantid: Nymphs are L1 for 5/$50, 10/$90, 20/$160, 30/$210. Plistospilota guineensis can top 12 cm as adults, are very good eaters and not difficult to keep. L1 take all varieties of fruit flies. Shipping: You'll get at least what...

I have a few for grabs. Typically I don't sell ooths as it is a risky endeavor, but each one is the 2nd in line with the 1st hatching >200 each. While I guarantee fertility, I cannot guarantee hatching! If anybody would like tips I'd be happy to help.  Some pictures of the...

Well what do we have here... Mom is already  annoyed at the kids

Welcome back!

Are you compiling species logs? I have many others if needed

I don't know the Stagmomantis genus well, but it's very similar to an S. carolina.  Collected along the hummingbird highway roadside in the brush, 1 miles southeast of the Blue Hole National Park visitor center on Feb 7. The other one has a stockier build than a Stagmomantis, I've seen pictures...

Spent a week in BZ for vacation and did some bug hunting while there. It rained on some of my night hikes but found some neat stuff! Here's a sample, any questions about the pics, the trip itself, or the subjects just ask!  pseudo-Pseudacanthops ? fer-de-lance

No worries, I've looked for sunglasses that were on my face! Here's another ooth, going to be overrun I think...

Hence the title: Plistospilota guineensis

Some chicken eggs were found! Give em another 2 weeks or so...

If anyone has males to let go of, I'd be interested in buying, trading, or giving offspring. These are for re-mating so not a necessity. PM me!

Finally got some time to breed these specimens. 3 females mated by multiple males so far with more to come. The females have not shown aggression so far towards the males; in fact, once the males dismount they've stayed side-by-side with the females in the cage. I'll have nymphs to offer soon...

Funny that you should post this, because I had an odd thing happen this week in regards to synchronicity. I collected 6 Tenodera sinensis wild oothecae from Erie county, PA last winter. All 6 hatched this summer but one produced only ~45 nymphs. The same ootheca hatched again on Friday...
