https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/67437-Iris-oratoria This article talks a bit about the parthenogenesis of the Iris oratoria

I’m interested! Do you have any experience with the reported parthenogenic propensity (that’s a mouthful!) of this species? How many offspring are there typically from one ooth?

Hello! Was wondering if you have any Giant Asian nymphs left…?

If you are looking for beautiful and healthy ghosts, look no further than Jaunte. He is extremely helpful and is always open to questions, giving informed and thoughtful responses. I ordered five ghosts and he gave me an extra one! When I opened the package today I couldn’t get over how much...

Greetings Jaunte! Was wondering if you still have any Ghosts…? I’m also interested in a female Wahlbergi if you have any left. Hope all is well with you! Thank you 😊

Beautiful pic! Orchids are just so stunningly gorgeous! And I love their personality!! I know what you mean about losing them. I just lost my orchid and it makes me so sad. She had a permanent place on the kitchen table! Her empty terrarium is still there. I’m looking for another female right...

Thanks😃

Just saw your additional pics - they are amazing! I’m partial to the mantids but all of them are striking really.

Beautiful! And there are so many mantid species to choose from! Please show others if you have them🙏

What does “calling” look like…? Is this common to all species?

Unfortunately I don’t have any ghosts to offer you. I don’t have any ghosts period but plan on having some in the future! I’m really in need of sub-adult/adult female. Could I buy an older one from you and maybe a young m/f pair? Maybe I can slow down my males’ growth enough to make the timing...

I know your post is from a year ago but was wondering how you made out with that ooth. I’m desperately seeking an adult female. I have around 14 sub-adult and adult males. I didn’t have many females to begin with and now they’re all gone! I started with a beautiful female S. limbata last...

Thanks so much! Yes I already have a great appreciation for his knowledge and willingness to help! It’s so hard to find reliable sources of information especially when it comes to the finer details of rearing these amazing creatures. Thank you for reaching out😁

Thank you for your referrals. Rainbow mealworms has a nice variety of supplies. I’m putting together an order now. I’d be interested in trying something other than dubias. You’re right - they have a hard time grasping them. I’ve been rolling them on their backs for easier access but this a...

Thank you Hibiscusmile. I have sold some to a local reptile store and some I’m giving away to friends. I haven’t given much thought to the possibility of shipping them. I was considering a Craigslist ad with local pick-up being the only option. Where are you located?

Thank you so much for your detailed reply! When I say normal activity level I mean their usual perkiness when I’m doing things with them. I’ll have them on my hand while rinsing the container and sometimes I take pictures of them too. Nothing too involved - just with my phone. But I get to...

This is my first experience with raising mantids. An S. limbata hitched a ride in our car back in September. I fell in love with her and she laid two ooths before she died. I now have 93 of mostly L4’s of her offspring though the L5’s are emerging almost daily. What a beautiful assortment of...
