Save your momney and buy the larger deli cups, they aren't as sexy but I've found mold gorws way to easily in these taller less air flowing type of housing setups. I don't even use any of min except the largest one for my Ghosts. my .02 worth... Lee

one of my 2 gambian ooths hatched out last night as well...27 of the little buggers! Luckilu I had both spceies of FF on hand for them....

I know this may be a taboo topic but are there any good reference materials for proper pinning of mantis? I too would like to preserve any specimens that die at the end of their life cycle. Very nice job btw... Lee

Wow, he is very dark brown compared to my 6 unicorns...all are roughly the same light tan coloration. Nice pic! Lee

greats news! I had an inccident last evening with a molt (seems to have damaged her eye) so I'm hoping for a simular success story...

I'll do my best to get a decent picture of the injury this evening...my macro abilities with my current camera are some what limited but I'll see if I can get it to show up in the pic.

Thanks Rick, I guess that is what threw me off, she never stopped feeding (hence the reason I had left a fly in with her) and would grab a flie or three every day. I'll see what happens and report back when/if she survives and molts out ok...

It appeared like she was about to (the side of her abdomen got a little more gray or cloudy) and then it cleared up…I guess that is the process, correct? Is there any chance of this injury getting better in the final molt or does that typically apply only to damaged appendages? Thanks

Last evening my WC brown Chinese molted out…she appears to be a sub-adult now. However she must have had an incident during the shedding process as I found her almost near the bottom of her house. She was in the head down position but there was a large drop of greenish liquid on one of her...

ahhh, I hadn't thought about being able to do that in CA...here in Michigan that isn't much of an option in a couple more months. Lee

And if you could list the reasons for your favorite I would be very interested in hearing it...

What feeder prey is pictured with the ghost? Lee

The boxes range from .50 cents to $2.99

Thanks Yen...I can keep these 5 together if well fed without much risk of them eating each other, right?

That is very cool, have you determined higher or lowwer humidity equal which color change (in your females)? Black would be so stunning!

I currently have 5 Ghosts...they are all L2 and appear reddish-brown. Can or will they change color during the various molts and possibly appear different as adults or once their color is set are they destined to remain the same? Lee

Thanks for the added tips and info Yen, you described the size varience perfectly. I simply had 2 of the 6 that were very small and had yet to molt and when I compared them to a larger one that had molted it appeared 3-4 times larger then them. I'll keep observing and learning...thank you...
