Don’t think he’ll be posting to the 1st again, unfortunate

Hey Budwig thanks for the reply! I made a small typo in my post, I said my L4 molted, so it’s now an L5, apologies about that. ill still look at that link but! Thanks much!

Hello! About 2 days ago, my L4 molted  into an L5 and is no longer interested or activity trying to catch the fruit flies I put in, I have been activity searching on what to feed the mantis now, seems that house flies and blue bottles are popular options according to some haste research, but...

Hello! My name is Nicholas! (Nick or Nicky)  After a few weeks of research I decided to get two Ghost Mantises! (As I heard they were fairly good for beginnings)  Hope I can get some good advice here and maybe even make some friends :) Thanks! Have a great day! Nick

Hello there! I’m a new Mantis owner myself, did lots of research before deciding to get two ghosts but only 2 days after they arrived of fairly sure that they’ve both decided to Molt at the same time. I’ve a few questions if anyone could educate me 1. Both Mantises haven’t moved (still...
