Hello! I have some orchid nymphs that are just getting ready to head out. They're L2-L3, 40$ each. Send me a message if you're interested. LAG offered USPS express only for orchids. I'll ship with other carriers but have had a high death rate even with UPS 2-day in the past. Orchids are...

Glass and hard plastic can work if you drill holes & cut proper ventilation panels! It's just... harder to drill through glass haha. Mason jars are more problematic as well due to having a "lip" near the top that's hard for mantids to climb past to get to the mesh (they molt off the top)...

The big things for orchids is they need lots of cross ventilation - I cut two panels on opposite sides of the enclosure and cover them with two layers of mesh & secure with hot glue. With an enclosure that size, two 2x3 inch panels should work great. This allows for airflow in from the side...

Lost my only girl in my breeding group for unknown reasons. Looking for a female for my boys when they’re old. If I cannot find any, my three boys (L5) will be available for anyone who need a boy for their breeding group. Send me a message! :)

Hello! I have a handful of L5 male orchids for sale if anyone needs one for breeding. 35$+ shipping, send me a message :)

Hello! Looking for an Sub adult or adult male Giant Asian for my two girls. Also looking for an L5 male R Valida for my three girls. Open to trades when it comes to the R Valida! :) Can also do an ooth swap for the Giant Asians. DM me! Thank you.

I’m interested in keeping/breeding them some day, but have found them rather hard to find. I’d hate to see them die out in the US! If you have a group of them, I hope they’re doing well ❤️

Just sexed my breeding group of Rhombodera Valida - turns out I have all girls, so I’m looking for some boys. They're around L4-5 right now. Happy to wait if your group is too young to sex reliably as well. I’m happy to swap some of my girls for boys as well!  Thank you

I've ordered ghost mantises and an R Valida ooth from Bug Brood - the mantises came in wonderful condition, and the ooth had a large hatch rate! They're lovely to work with, and are all around wonderful. 5 stars :)

Back in the fall, I purchased 5 ghost mantises and 5 H Venosa. Sadly, even with express shipping, USPS managed to literally run over the mantises with a truck - I got them packaged in a new box with a sticky notifying me of damage, with the deli cups flat as a pancake. Panterra replaced all my...

Bought S Conspurcata and H Membranacea ooths awhile back. Lovely pricing,, wonderful to work with, and a lovely person! The Conspurcata ooth had an amazing hatch rate. The Membranacea only popped out about 30, but it was likely due to my inexperience at the time (I didn't mist it enough). 5...

Got unlucky, and my entire breeding group is male. Looking to purchase a female orchid, or willing to trade one of my boys (L4/5 rn) for her. Moving across the US on the 9th/10th (MN to RI) so can pick up anywhere along that route (WI, Chicago, Ohio, Erie, Penn, New York, Boston, CT, RI). Send a...

Hello! I run a decent sized server called Pedes and Pods! If you're interested in joining, you can chat with other like-minded keepers, swap tips, share photos, ask for identification help, discuss enclosures, and get excited about these great little bugs together! -Pinned caresheets for...

Just as the title says. Posting for a friend, they have an adult female and are looking to get her a boyfriend. Please DM me if you have any for sale! Thanks so much.

It’s super easy to hot glue the mesh all around the top! Otherwise, the enclosure looks good, congrats on the new babies!

As the title says! Looking to buy 4-5 ghost mantis nymphs in the US. DM me if you have any for sale!    If you’re within a state from Minnesota (MN, WI, N/S Dakota, etc) let me know and I might be able to pick them up instead of shipping :) Thanks! 

My fruit fly culture for nymphs is getting kiinda smelly, and I’d like to move away from using them if possible. I know some species only catch flying prey, but currently only have Chinese mantis nymphs (they’re very aggressive feeders!)  does anyone have any alternate feeders for nymphs that...

Yes!! Haha. He’s very sweet  :) (there we go! Still getting used to the forum)

Yes!! Haha. He’s very sweet :)
