    How to know the proper conditions for a good hatch

    I found this to be highly useful, and wanted to share with all. Find out the country of origin of your mantis or ootheca, and if you can, a specific region, or close-by city, as large countries such as India or USA have wide variations in climate. Then go to www.weather.com and type that in the...

    Idolomantis diabolica ooths, and others to be ordered

    UPDATE 6/11/09: Taking orders through early Monday 6/14/09, then sending money to the collector so he can begin. Getting them to me in Atlanta takes a good couple of weeks from when he begins collecting, f.y.i. I will keep you up to date on that. I urge all buyers to select Express or Overnight...

    4 species ooths straight from wild Tanzania!

    Three species arrived with some ooths just hatched! None from the Giant Flower Mantis as of this very moment... These are wild-collected ooths. I now have an instant large variety of all I want of three of the four species, and want to move the rest out before I am completely overrun with more...

    Anyone raising any Idolomantis diabolicas?

    I have one growing Idolomantis diabolica nymph whose sex is yet undetermined. When it is mature I will be looking for a mate for it. Is anyone else raising these, and if so, would you be interested in making pairs?

    Retrieve discarded messages

    Hi. Not sure where to post this. "Announcements" would not allow me to do so. My question is: Is it possible to retrieve a discarded message, or is it gone for good once I hit Delete? Thanks!

    Heterochaeta species nymphs, while they last!

    Sorry for multiple posts, but the Edit button is not working for me. Just adding now that I am not at all certain of the exact species of this "new" mantis from Tanzania. I am going on the best information I have been able to find, and from help from others. For more detailed information on this...

    Heterochaeta occidentalis nymphs - new species!

    A very healthy, new species to the hobby, from Tanzania, so keep warm. None at all hatched badly, and all are finally eating Aphids on day four. Does not drink mist/dry. Try? I am taking a pricing cue from someone who also has a very unusual mantis species offered, and am listing them at $4 each...

    Hatching Idolomantis diabolica ooths properly

    Hi All. I have done my research (to the best of my ability, anyway), and have found little information regarding the proper way to successfully hatch out well my several ooths of the Idolomantis diabolica. Heard to keep them hot, but how hot, and how hot is too hot? Misting? I know to mist the...
