She gonna be making some babies soon?

Handsome devil!

Awesome, the babies are so freakin plump.

Nice, I want your job!

Welcome fellow SoCaler, you'll find many of us on here.

I don't want it, but I'd still like to see a pic :)

My S. limbata ooth kept on hatching nymphs for almost 2 weeks.

My budwings are about 1-2 weeks into adulthood. Your lobata ratio is actually pretty good. Since the males are wimpy and are killed quite often while attempting to mate, it's good you have so many spare males.

I have 3 fresh adult female Sibylla pretiosa $12 each + shipping Stagmomantis limbata L2's $2.50 each + shipping Shipping is $8, includes heat pack.

I got a heavy dose of that bad luck. I bought 5 budwing nymphs, all turned out to be males, argh.

Here's 4 different mantids. Are they all female?

Here's some video of the buggers.

So they finally molted into their pupae form :)

I keep a batch in the same large container, so obviously they are all raised in the same conditions. Most are black, a couple of browns, grays and even 1 green one. I'm keeping the greenie for mating, hoping to selectively breed for the green gene.

Get a tarantula, they rock. Jumpers and wolf spiders are cool. I'm keeping 2 black widows, they're badass. If you have room, get a Nephila or an ogre face spider. Here's my girl

Yeah, moths, but I hear they don't move much so won't attract attention to themselves.

Looks like a rose

My female C. nebulosa and male D. dessicata refuse to die.

Tape is bad, had many nymphs die from getting stuck.

But they look awesome as adults.
