    Ghost mantid breeding?

    Patience, ghosts can be infuriating to breed. Don't do anything to startle them, I would recommend not even being in the same room while they get started.

    Why did no one tell me odontomantis can teleport?

    Definitely not a species that you're going to want to be handling with much frequency, as you mentioned. The speed comes with being an ant mimic species. Try not to bother them too much while feeding or doing maintenance, but when feeding/cleaning smaller species or nymphs, I like to do it on a...

    Damon diadema bit me!

    In my experience, Damon species, and particularly diadema, are rather picky... they do seem to enjoy red runner roaches, but ignore other species like Nauphoeta cinerea. Crickets are certainly their favorites though. Moths and flies may be difficult for them to catch.

    Damon diadema bit me!

    She is likely fine and was simply startled. My medius reacts similarly upon being touched. I've been pricked good by the larger ones many times.

    Best Isopod species for Mantis enclosure?

    I'd say dwarf whites are best: prolific, relatively dry-resistant, and great at breaking down organic waste.

    Macromantis nicarague

    Unfortunately my group consisted of mostly males and I lost my female early on. Great species, eager for an opportunity to try again with any member of the genus. Anyone here keeping them?

    Stick insects in southern california?

    According to Wikipedia (and via citation link, David Grimaldi’s “Evolution of the insects”), timema females encrust their eggs in particles of soil they have consumed. Following this, many species will have their eggs carried off into ant nests where the nymphs will hatch and emerge.

    Stick insects in southern california?

    I heard Timema are almost impossible to keep in captivity since they require their local soil to encase their eggs in
