This orchids body must have been exposed to extreme heat or cold to get this black. Did the mailer freeze it before shipping? Also when you say worm do you mean an earthworm?

I've raised idolomantis, generations of orchids and recently violins again so I'd thought I'd give some advice on stuff I do to get these picky eaters to eat. First off we all know their main diet consists of flying prey like blue bottle flies and moths, but they can be a scarce resource for...

Hi everyone :D  I'd like to try my hand at raising idolomantis diabolica again. Last time keeping these guys I got them to adulthood now I'd like to actually get to breeding them. I can pay or potentially trade for some orchid mantises. Thanks

I've never been able to force the male to mount the female. I've always had success with the males doing it on his own terms. In my expierince females are more active in the daytime while males are more active at night. The older the male (1-2 weeks after maturing) the more likely he is to...

Little late on my review but really happy with this transaction. I was expecting only one male mantid in the mail but to my suprise I got two! packing was superb and in my opinion a little excessive for just two mantids but they came in alive and healthy. Both mated with my females rite after I...

I would try what Vlodek and Mantismatt said. In my personal experience I've tried manually placing the male on the females back, only for him to be scared sh*tless and run off. The best method for me was putting both the male and female in a large cage. Make sure both are well fed, especially...

Both 100% female. No doubt about it ;)

I say the orchid in the first pic is male and the second is female. Can't tell forsure because I will need a closer view of the abdomen, but orchids are sexable at L2 and above. The best way to tell is looking for a "notch" or "V" on the last segment of the abdomen. I've always sexed my orchids...

32oz deli cup. Literally get them anywhere free that has a deli. Damp paper towel for bedding. Spray when it gets dry. Use a screened lid. Orchids like humidity but also need good ventilation. Cut a whole or square doesn't really matter on the lid. Cut screen to shape the lid best you can. Hot...

Hi again, I'm working on an orchid care video soon so I will get back to you on that but back to the feeding subject. Depending on where you live you might be able to find yourself some good wild food during the winter. Here in NorCal where I live Craneflys and moths are usually abundant during...

Hi again mantisman maybe I can help with my own experiences. The amount of pink always differ from each mantis but it's true that they can go from white to 90% pink and back. its still yet not understood on what causes them to change but humidity and enviormental factors are said to play a big...
