Hi Everybody I have a female that was bred with my male over a month ago, once she was old enough to do so. She looks super gravid, still moving around, but she has just refused to lay her ooth. Is the genus just very picky about where to lay their ooths? Is there something I can do to make her...

Hello! I have two adult female Hierodula membranacea and am looking for a male to breed them with. I am in Cali. I am willing to buy or trade, so just let me know.

Quick question Is Elmer's Non-Toxic glue safe to use to hang ooths? I ran out of glue for my hot glue gun and I don't want the ooth to dry out or hatch on the floor of the container. Thanks for the advice!

Turns out all four of the mantids I bought turned out to be male, and now I'm looking for a lady to pair them with. I'm in the California, and would be open to trades, but ideally I'm just looking to buy one outright. Thanks for looking and stay safe!

Hello  Title pretty much says it all. My twigs seem to have a much lower molt success rate compared to my ghosts and my African giants. I'm talking about like maybe 50%. Is there anything I can do to improve this? I spray them every time I feed them and I have them all in similar enclosures. I...

Hello  I have had two massive hatches in the last week and my current fruit fly cultures have been decimated. I was wondering if anybody could give me any tips as to where to buy bulk fruit flies. Either cultures or just the flies, as I have everything to make my own cultures at home. Thank you...

Hello  I just had a large hatch that caught me unawares, in terms of both food and time. I've already been contacted by a few parties that would be interested in buying some of these mantids, but seeing as they are not even l2 yet I'm afraid to ship them. Would it be better if I were to wait...

Hello!  The first ooth of 4 has hatched and oh boy it's a lot of little ones. I have some questions. I put some melanogaster flies in to their little 5.5oz cups as well as a paper towel cutting on the lid with a little water. How often do I need to feed these guys? I've been feeding my other...

Hello  I have a couple of Pignomantis Medioconstricta (think that's how you spell it) that are going to be outgrowing their containers soon. As I was getting materials to make my own fruit fly cultures I got a couple more of these 32 oz deli cups than I really needed. Now these cave no holes on...

Hello  I bought a giant Asian mantis at a recent show (I am quite new to the hobby so you will have to forgive my lack of knowledge) and have some questions. After a recent molt its four back legs became black and it's forelegs became black at the joints. It seems to be mirrored on both sides...
