As the title says.  Will pay handsomely for guaranteed fertile ooths, btw.  "guaranteed" means they hatch.

Got two fresh and pretty ladies looking for a gentlebug.  Please message me if you have a subadult or adult male R. basalis.  Thank you.

Got a couple lobata gals that need a boy.  Hit me up if you got them.  Thanks.

Great seller.  Would buy from her again.

@hysteresis I'm atheist.  Nice to meet you.

L2 Rhombodera Stalli.  $7/nymph with a 3 nymph minimum order.  2-3 day USPS priority shipping $20 (This includes about $8 worth of temp regulating supplies).   Will ship after New years to prevent shipping issues.

I also received this species from Panterra.  I assume their care is similar to most jungle type species.  I give them extra humidity and basically keep them like most of my other species.  If I learn something new i will pass on the info.

Welcome to the group.  There is no doubt you are among like-minded admirers of these fascinating creatures!

He's successful because he has a name and that makes him want to pass down his genes.  😂

Looks like you're raising an army there.  Welcome to the group!

Hey everyone, Shopping around for a new batch of mantids that are preferably medium/large sized species and preferably between L2- L6 (no adults please).  NOT interested in the following: - Stagmomantis carolina - Tenodera sinensis - Phyllocrania paradoxa - Phyllovates chlorophaea PM me...

I'm in the mantis keepers facebook page and it's the largest mantis group on FB as far as I know (almost 10,000 members) and it is very active.  Let me know if you want me to do it.  Your parents are smart keeping you off facebook (and hopefully most social media) at your age.  Fantastic job on...

Nice to have you.  Looking forward to seeing your collection grow.

I guess what they say about being dropped on the head as a child is true!  Haha.  Congrats on the final molt.  At least he is in a perpetual threat posture and nobody will mess with him!

Welcome to the hobby and be careful not too get too carried away with these little aliens.  They're so addicting!  I wish I could provide you with more information regarding the troubles you're running into but  @MantisGirl13 and @hysteresis basically covered your questions.

I have only ordered supplies and feeders from mantisplace.com because the live mantis prices were always quite high.  But you cant beat her prices for supplies/feeders and I never had an issue with any orders i received from her.  I just wish the website was more optimized for scrolling and listing.

I'm in North Florida and never seen one while hiking.  Those *******s are pretty fast, too.  Luckily, i was able to buy a nymph to add to my vivarium once it gets larger.  Let us know if you find any!

That's quite some dedication.  I use Excel as well and i really only track molts with some basic identifying info.  I feel like using Access is best suited for large data sets but considering that you track so many data points you might find a good use for it.

Super nice.  Great prices.  Healthy mantids.  Possible extra "stowaways".  I highly recommend Yen to anyone interested in getting mantids.

Welcome to the hobby and nice to have you.  Like everyone is saying, ghosts are a great low-cannibalism species.  Plus, they look absolutely awesome in a subtropical/temperate vivarium!  I've read that Texas Unicorn Mantids are low risk as well (https://bugguide.net/node/view/71463).  I have two...
