    C. meleagris breeding

    Hello everyone, I was just wondering how long does it take the average Creobroter meleagris to mate once connected? I was just curious because i believed it would take like 2 hours or so, but my pair has been mating since yesterday (sunday) 1:45 PM!! The mail after a few hours disconnects, but...

    Yen Saw - (US)

    Just received my order from Yen today. Great shipment! Very fast. He threw in plenty of freebies. The creobroter pair look great, cant wait to mate them. The hierodula pat. also look very nice, and the gambian ooths all came in good shape! Recommend this breeder to anyone!!! Go Yen!

    Freezing

    I believe it would indeed freeze the insects fluids, but nothing a little thawing out in warm water can't solve. Once the feeders are thawed out, the fluids are back in liquid matter ;-)

    Freezing

    Hey everyone, I was just wondering if any of you guys have ever caught wild insects like wasps, moths, etc. and froze them so when your mantids get bigger, you could thaw the feeder insects out and use them as food? I was thinking of doing that because it will soon be getting cooler here in...

    First Shed Questions

    If the container they're currently in is of decent size, and theres enough twigs, and branches inside, then they should be fine during molting. I notice L1's will eat literally up to the day they molt.

    Tarachodula pantherina

    Quite a while ago, I sent my T. pantherina to Deshawn, I don't know if he continued to breed them down the generations, but I guess sending him an email wont hurt. See if he still has them...

    Sybilla pretiosa ootheca

    I traded something for a sybilla pretiosa ootheca last week, and 2 days ago my other sybilla ootheca hatched so I no longer need the sybilla ooth I just recieved last week. It looks bigger and bulkier than the sybilla ooth I had hatch, so this one should be pretty good. I'm asking $25 plus...
