    Are Ooths from green ghosts worth more?

    It is most likely genetics, as environmental factors don't impact them like with other species (Iris oratoria comes to mind immediately). However I don't think anyone has selectively bred ghosts for long enough to have it be definitively be genetic, though environmental factors do not play a...

    TikTok and Mantis Breeders?

    I 100% agree with what @yankeeman1421 says. I don't like coming off as a know it all because I'm definitely not but with species like Stenophylla, Hymenopus, and Idolomantis, I really think that people who are first importing them into the country/ breeding them here for the first time should be...

    Please pray

    I lost an adult male when I was younger, he ended up showing himself 3 days later in the blinds of a window. Try looking around light sources, or if you have lights on tables/ stands, behind those stands. He may also be in curtains, on windowsills, or anywhere that may be high up/ around a light...

    Do I need a permit to sell mantids?

    Yes, there are a few threads on here that cover selling them legitimately. Otherwise, it's illegal unless you get caught!

    How often should I feed my mantis?

    For a lot of nymphs, I tend to throw in about 3-5 Melanogaster or Hydei FF's per nymph, and i do that every Wednesday and Saturday. Sometimes, if they still look plump after that, I wait till the next feeding day to feed them.

    Rhombodera Adult Female Wing Issue

    Just cut the piece of wing off a while ago, she didn't care at all, and she seems better. It sucks her wings will never be normal though 😕

    Rhombodera Adult Female Wing Issue

    The two rear legs, it'll be tricky but if the molts goes well, she'll be able to recover. They were badly bent, and I was worried they would get stuck in the molt since they were misshapen. Right now she's using her raptorials and middle pair, so if she can molt with just the middle pair it'll...

    Rhombodera Adult Female Wing Issue

    Yeah I thought as much, right now I'm playing Mantis M.D. and doing surgery on a small cat eye who's legs were deformed from molting in shipping. Had to use scissors, talcum powder, and a whole lotta willpower to get the ends of those legs off. Hopefully now he molts and starts to regrow them...

    Rhombodera Adult Female Wing Issue

    I have been waiting on this lady to molt to adulhood for some time now, but there seems to have been an issue with the last part of her transformation. Her "top right" wing seems to have had a blood vessel burst when extending the wings, and she now has this bubble like object weighing her wing...

    BEFORE READING THIS: Let me preface this review by saying that had ordered this package during a relatively hot week, which may possibly have affected the results. I ordered some bottle flies, house flies, and other smaller species of fly. They arrived in a smallish box, and unfortunately a lot...
