I kept her in the deli cup that I bought her in until she molted but I had to give her a better ventilated lid.

Yet another angle. This time focusing on her uniquely shaped eyes.

Still in the deli cup that I bought her in. Just another angle.

Photos of my female Spiny Flower Mantis

Here, she is on green and pink mottled artificial foliage that came in the deli cup with her when I bought her. The substrate she came with was Sphagnum moss.

Welcome! Congrats on breeding the S. lineola. I have raised and bred Mantis religiosa, the species you can find in the wild here. I also have a Pseudocreobotra wahlbergii right now too. Feel free to add/message me if you would like to chat. I am from southern Ontario, by the way.

Yeah, she is mated. I am hoping it hatches too.

An adult female in a natural setting. Here, she is on a goldenrod flower head.

I do too!

I hope to find the Canadian members to communicate with and make trades. It would be cool to own some of these really exotic species that I see y'all having. :)

Thanks everyone! @WolfPuppy Thanks and yes, My avatar is one of my religiosas.

Hello, I am a nature enthusiast from southern Ontario, Canada. I recently joined not too long ago and finally decided to introduce myself to everyone. I have kept Mantis religiosa for a few years now but my mantid-keeping experience is mainly limited to them because exotics are not as readily...

I am from Ontario, Canada and I heard that only Mantis religiosa (a species that is naturalized here) and Tenodera sinensis are legal to keep. Tenodera sinensis oothecae are sold as biological pest control at a few places here.

This is an adult female Dead Leaf Mantis (Deroplatys spp.) I photographed this year at the Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory in Ontario, Canada.
