I ordered 2 L2 ghost mantids from Patty.  Shipping was very prompt, communication was excellent, and I received 3 healthy, happy female ghost mantids.  I had questions about shipping, and Patty responded within hours, same with questions about feeding.  Also, packaging was fantastic!  Even the...

Actually, they came shipped in the same container.  Also, I had ordered Hydei flies (back in May) but my order has still not even shipped (with my mantids or flies), so I had to run out and get them fruit flies from Petco, they only had the Melanogaster.  They have eaten them...but they seem...

Initially, I did have all 3 together, but they seemed more stressed together than apart.  They would approach each other and swing their arms at each other and run.  I will work on a bigger home for them.  I don't want to keep moving them either!  So many things to worry about as a new mantid...

I reveived 3 ghosts today.  They are l3's.  I put each in their own deli cup.  I gave them all water droplets and fruitflies.  1 of them just keeps circling the top and all over in the cup when she does stop, she rocks.  The other 2 are perfectly content hanging around.  These are my 1st mantids...

Received these 3 beauties today. Love em so much already!

Hi,  I just received her today.  Does anyone know if this will cause issues w molting?  Thanks!

 I will get some more lil cups and see how it goes...if any of them hatch!  How long does it typically take for a breeder to ship?  It has been over a week and I haven't heard a thing.  Is that normal?

The Ghosts should be L2s

I was planning on keeping 10 and seeing how it goes.  Would you recommend more?  Also,  I have 2 (hopefully female) ghost mantids on the way.  How big of a tank/container is needed for 2 since they are communal?

My ooth are Chinese Mantids.  I currently have them in deli cups.  I also have the 5 oz cups prepared so that I can keep a few of the Chinese mantids.  The rest will be released (I already checked the Illinois DNR website and Chinese Mantids are fine to release).   I have a paper towel on the...

I am new to the hobby.  I have always loved mantids.  I had one in my classroom that a student found outside.  She lived for about a month.  I am not certain what happened, but she stopped eating and her pretty green eyes turned black.   Anyway, I have always wanted to order mantid ooth.   I am...
