    Molting questions

    I don’t know what instar is? So I was just guessing it meant L4 because that was on receipt. I don’t know the mantis terminology yet. Is L4 the instar?  I don’t know why but if we put food in the terrarium she doesn’t eat much at all, but if my daughter gets her out and feeds her on her hand...

    Molting questions

    Had our ghost nymph for about 4 weeks now. How can I tell if she’s molting? Been hanging in same spot for days and swaying a lot. Doesn’t want to come to our finger like she did before. My daughter got her out and fed her anyway and she took the food, slowly though/ should we leave her alone...

    Thank you.  We had our fingers crossed for green. Sometimes it looks greener, probably the lighting. She loves baby Groot! But we found out yesterday from members it’s a girl ❤️

    Advice on isopods. The enclosure is glass nano terrarium with bottom layer lava rock, then layer of fabric weed barrier, next layer of verticulate (if I’m spelling that right) then organic potting soil. An orchid and another small houseplant I forgot the name of lol. Do we really need isopods...

    I’m Morgan’s mom 🙂 she just received her 1st mantis today. We ordered from PanTerra Pets and are very pleased with the whole transaction. She has named her baby “Groot” He (we think it’s he?) is a very lucky mantis. Any advice for us newbies is appreciated. My daughter is 12 years old, so if we...
