Question in regards to breeding butterflies. Now, I know for the most part it is illegal however, it seems to me there are a few exceptions to this rule. Please correct me if I’m wrong. Overall it seems there are about 9-10 species that can be moved in general. Almost all of them need permits...

@Mystymantis @MrGhostMantis @MantisGirl13 all of you were correct! They were scouts. About 35-40 new mantids just hatched today. Going to keep the ooth hanging just in case more still keep coming. I had them in about 75-80 degrees and kept the humidity a tad higher than normal and they poured...

@Mystymantis I kept them at around 72-77 degrees since the ooths hardened. I’ve kept humidity around 60-75. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for the delayed hatch over the next 3-7 days. 

@MrGhostMantis thank you for the quick reply. I def wasn’t planning to actually cut it open as I know that’s so dumb hahaha. Gotcha, that is what I was hoping for to be honest. I’ve raised plenty of mantids but this is my first time breeding so I’m still on my first dozen ooths and haven’t had...

I got an error message on the last post so I apologize if this is a double post.  My Chinese Mantis Ooth started hatching about 4 hours ago. 10 came out right away however, not a single one has come out since then. I’ve never had a t. sinesis ooth produce less than 100 mantids. Is it possible...

My Chinese Mantis Ooth started hatching about 4 hours ago. 10 came out right away however, not a single one has come out since then. I’ve never had a t. sinesis ooth produce less than 100 mantids. Is it possible that there is a blockage? I had the ooth in a 72 degree environment but I’ve moved...

Hello, I have an adult male orchid mantis. I was wondering if anyone had a female? I am down to purchase her off of you, or to work out a mating deal. Split the ooths if there is more than one or split the nymphs if there is just one Ooth. I’m in California. 

I am already in possession of ooths for Chinese, European, and Ghost mantids. I also have sub adult dead leaf mantids - which I plan to breed. Please reach out to me with pricing details as well as estimates shipping. I am located in California, USA. I’m not interested in anything from overseas. 

I just got 5 dead leaf mantids from him and they all arrived healthy and beautiful. He packed everything up super well and added plenty of warmers - they traveled across the entire country in the winter and are all currently eating as we speak. He also threw in some red runners which was a nice...

Hello! I’m new to breeding and came here for some help and info within the forums. I’m also going to be checking out the classifieds for ooths!
