I know Demona did this a few times when I was hand feeding her. Just smacked the food away with her good claw. I took it to mean she wasn't interested in any more xD. Is...is this not normal behavior?

I was getting some feeders for my first set of mantids, and had a whole bunch of questions. Floundering, I contacted Rebecca (hers was the website I was browsing, found through this forum). She answered all my questions right away, and was so friendly and helpful! I ended up getting two Cup of...

At the rate the fly pupae are hatching, they're getting fed about every 4 days at this point. I put 4/5 in the hatching tub just so I make sure at least two hatch. I can definitely just toss two in for each boyo with no issues. Thank you! I'm always one to prefer odd, though I do wish they'd be...

Thank you! I'll keep going as is for the boys then. And yeah, Demona definitely let's you know she's done lol. I'll probably hatch out a couple for her when she finishes her next molt. Hopefully her arm will be fixed then, and I won't have to hand feed her at that point.

I just recently got my first set of mantids from mantidkingdom, 3 little ghosts. My leaf friends are a female L3 and 2 what I believe are males at L4 (they are both the same size, bigger than my little girl). The female, Demona, is getting fruit flies cause she's got a damaged raptorial and...

@The Wolven Feeding success! She wasn't able to catch them on her own (she'd get close, and they'd escape her one little arm), but she happily took them from my tweezers! Two fruit flies in, and her belleh is nice and plump 8D

Oh, good to hear!! I think she's my only female, so hopefully she makes it to adult. Thank you so much!! 8D

Oh no your poor pretzel mantis! I didn't realize his wonky arm could be that much of an issue, I hope he turns out okay! I did manage to get a picture of him, but it's blurry cause my camera was focusing on the reflections on the glass instead of him. But you can still see what angle he's...

I just got in 3 ghost nymphs from mantidworld, and they all survived shipping, yay! \o/ But one of them molted during shipping (really, you had to pick that one day when it's dangerous??), and unboxing him it's obvious he didn't survive it unscathed. One of his raptorial arms is being held away...

Thank you for the welcome!! Jumping spiders are so freaking cute XD I would have loved to have one in high school lol.

The leg part is *chef's kiss* hehe

Stick frens are another favorite of mine!! I'd love to see a dance off between the two xD Tho....I don't think stick frens do the little butt wiggle, so leaf frens might have a leggy up! hehehe

Hello, I'm bryte! I'm currently living in Texas, and have loved bugs for a very long time! My first pets were grasshoppers I scooped up at the side of the road xD. Mantids have always been my favorite though, and I took the plunge after a great deal of research and just ordered a few ghost...
