Positive!!!??? One of the best transactions I've done! Bought four mantises and all of them came alive and Healthy along with a freebie! Very trustworthy, patient and easy person to work with. Communication was ontop with daily updates to make sure the package arrived safe. everything from...

I know this species needs to be fed mainly avian prey but at this time I don't have a steady supply of them around. What I have been getting away with are dubia nymphs from my colony. The trick I use is have them right side up on a container lid and drop the dubia near them to stimulate a fly...

Highly recommend!!! I'm very late on this, but I barley go on here And I've been busy lately. Sally's very honest and great person to overall work with. I had an orchid female mantis and was in need of a male. She was able to provide me with one of her males. The male came in alive and...

It's the male that's Chinese. I do keep them for a few weeks. Power feeding them until they are ready to lay ooths then that's when I release her so I can see more next year :)

A few hours ago I had come back walking from the gym at Night to find these two mantises staring at each other on my front door. A few weeks ago I witnessed the same thing With a pair of stagmomantis Californica that I had caught and ended up breeding. I naturally assumed the same here. A...

Thanks. I live in Northern California and it can get pretty cold. Not to the point that we ever get snow but there's always the occasional frost. I haven't seen termites here but when I lived in Tahoe there were a bunch of them. The flying males would make perfect food. I do get around for now...

How about the winter time when they're not so Readily available?

I've fed butterflies before. Only on occasion and only to my flower mantises because their diet requires it. It may also be beneficial. True in terms that they don't have much meat in them, but they do retain some pollen from feeding on nectar. Although not really proven pollen been shown to be...

A+!!! Couldn't give this guy enough praise! Ordered 5 mantises all arrived safe, happy and healthy. Super stoked they were able to come in so quick too! Packaging was top notch. Could already tell they had been secure the whole trip here. Think the best part was the 3 freebies I also...

Thanks for the quick replies. I just needed a second opinion. I'll be watching carefully if the broken leg does become a problem for it. He just molted so I'll have to wait on the feeding. I know one of the main problems for this species is getting enough grip when molting so I'll just have to...

Little update on my idolo. When I fist got him at L1 he had Twisted up legs. All four walking ones. He now molted into L2 and to my horror ended up Stuck! (Tell the truth,.. was kinda expecting it) His back two legs were stuck so I had to literally pry Him out of his old exo skeleton...

Anyone know then these guys start to Get there adult colors? Both slings are 1.5" Sling1 is kinda drab in color I question if it is a p.metallica but you can see bluish purple in direct light Sling2 is a bit more blue

A++!!! Ordered 5 idolomantis diabolica. Transaction was very fluid and fast. To be honest I was a bit worried. These were all L1 nymphs getting shipped across the U.S. Literally NY to CA on top of the insane weather we have here in Cali (not to mention how fragile these guys are) I was...

Hello all. I've recently acquired some idolos in the mail and had noticed two of them seem to have Disfigurements in the legs. These are all L1 btw The first one has the back four legs twisted and Can not walk strait. The good news is that it can still Eat and grip upside down in its cup...

I've got females I'd hate to go to waste :( So I'm putting one last ditch effort to look for a mate. Willing to pay top dollar for a male also willing to give a couple of nymphs from the first ooths produced Thanks for looking.

Anyone out there willing to sell or trade an adult or sub male?

Just a few of the same image. She was devouring it so Fast I just let the burst do all the work? I did a close up with the flash on It's phone quality sooo....
