    Sphodromantis eggbinding?

    Hi Everybody I have a female that was bred with my male over a month ago, once she was old enough to do so. She looks super gravid, still moving around, but she has just refused to lay her ooth.

    Low Popa spurca molt success rate

    It's pretty light. In pretty much all places they have at least two to three times the body length worth of space before they hit anything else

    Low Popa spurca molt success rate

    Hello  Title pretty much says it all. My twigs seem to have a much lower molt success rate compared to my ghosts and my African giants. I'm talking about like maybe 50%.

    Best place to buy fruit flies in bulk?

    Hello  I have had two massive hatches in the last week and my current fruit fly cultures have been decimated.

    What instar is appropriate for shipping?

    Hello  I just had a large hatch that caught me unawares, in terms of both food and time. I've already been contacted by a few parties that would be interested in buying some of these mantids, but seeing as they are not even l2 yet I'm afraid to ship them. Would it be better if I were to wait...

    DIY lids for 32 oz mantis cups.

    Hello  I have a couple of Pignomantis Medioconstricta (think that's how you spell it) that are going to be outgrowing their containers soon. As I was getting materials to make my own fruit fly cultures I got a couple more of these 32 oz deli cups than I really needed. Now these cave no holes on...
