HAHA awesome!!

Ordered 2 cultures from them and recieved 3. Pretty good communication but they did have a shortage of flies when I tried to order so it took a while and when they did arrive not a single culture had a living fly in it! It looked like some had pupae so I waited a few days to see if any would...

Alright thank you!

Yeah I agree with that too. Mine were pretty weird, especially my female, and I had a difficult time to get them to pair up...well more difficult than what I was expecting from this genus. I would wait another 2-3 days and put the male far away from the female, maybe in a different room, then...

Well I like to give mine the whole bug room to roam around in and mate so that the male has a chance to escape. This is how I have always done it without any problems...BUT last night they seperated while I was out playing basketball and now I can't find the female lol. It's been over 12 hours...

Thanks bro for hooking me up with them!

All this breeding talking and getting new species esablished here in the states is making me excited! Haha. I think I'll wait though and try to get these later unless you still have some from the later ooths...but I doubt that lol. Great job man!

Yes I agree with Rick too. There are plenty of other insects that can make for a good mantis meal. We as humans need pollinators like the honeybee. They populations are in decline so killing more is adding to the problem. Perhaps if you started a colony in your yard that produced thousands of...

Ok I have changed it so it says US species. Is that acceptable?

So last night I tried to pair up my C. pictipennis. I gave the female a moth to eat and while she was eating I introduced the male behind her. He took notice of her and was moving very slowly. The female is a very skittish mantis, probably the most skittish one I have ever had. The male waited...

I agree completely!!

Awesome! Great job dude! They are definietly a hard species to breed and I really hope you get a couple of nice ooths out of it...then maybe I could get some nymphs ;) lol. I've wanted to try my hand with this species for a while now. Best of luck!

Yes thank you Gill. That is very helpful. Thanks and I know haha. Yes I menat the species that are currently found in the US.

I have never heard of Hierodula bipapilla before. They look awesome! Good luck raising all those!

Ok thanks for the help and for posting the link. :)

So I have been working on a list of all the mantis species that are currently in culture or at least what I think are in culture. I may have missed some and some may no longer be in culture. I would encourage anybody to help me make this list more accurate or if you want to share any knowledge...

Sounds good to me lol. I am working on putting a list together of species that I think are currently in culture somewhere right now. I'll try to post it when I am finished with it.

Do you mind me asking how you know this?

Haha well thank you! That helps a lot.

Hey everyone, I was wondering how many species of Creobroter are currently in culture in the world not just the US. I know that at some point there were at least 4: apicalis, gemmatus, nebulosus, and pictipennis. I was wondering if they are all still in culture and if there are anymore species...
