Love the vids and the pics

Good luck on the mating. Hopefully everything goes fine.

Welcome

Better not giving crickets to your mantids. They can carry parasites or disaeses. Better use flies, grasshoppers or roaches. New hatched mantids you can give Drosophila melanogaster fruitflies

I got in love with mantids with watching vids from other mantis lovers. then I bought 1, then 2...I think i am going buy me a mantis soon, I miss having them

Sad to read this. Sadly enough mantids have not a long lifespan. I wish it would be longer.

It would be cool if you can get of the nympfs at home when the ooth hatches next spring. You have time enough to learn how to care for mantids.

Waldo is good in hiding himself

She is beautifull

Mantids stop eating before molting then you know when they are close to molting. But is sad she didn't make it. Sorry for your loss

Gratz on the adulthood of Minty. He looks beautiful. Did you name your ghost yet?

Beautiful pics:love: The jumping spider eyes are clear and the mantids, beautiful. I never could make such pics of my mantids sadly enough

Mantids have personalities. I have seen it in my mantids. When Anainah died I cried. Fought for her life because somehow she didn't eat. I had to force fed her. I got her to sub adult stage. Even she was just an insect, I cared for her. Happy that she had eaten a few bites..

Anainah is dying. She is dying because she didn't eat much, I had to force fed her whole life. I feel really sad because I fought for her en I lost.😭

A green ghost is special. She is beautiful

Gratz on the hatch

Now I can see the mantis in your pics hand. It is cute

My hubby knows I have 5 adult hissing roaches:ROFLMAO: Those I won't feed to my mantids. But their young I will. Last year we had a heatwave to they mated and got young, my mantis of last year lived on them. We have had a heatwave again, so free feeders in the winter because I don't know what...

Welcome

She molted yesterday en she had a good molt and she has grown a new small leg. I think she has one more molt to go, so the leg will grow bigger. It is nice to see how nature fixes a lost leg with next molt to replace the lost one:cool:
