I've been in contact with him about purchasing some oothecae, but I've never heard this guy's name mentioned before. I'd like to make sure he's legit.

I read quite a while ago that some utilize the "sealed container" method (Sealed jar or deli cup without ventilation, no spraying). I was wondering what all of you think about this idea or if you have any better plans for a hatching enclosure you can share with me. My last ooth molted and I'd...

I'm looking for any species of assassin bugs other than orange or white spots. If you have red spots, US species, or anything else please e-mail me: [email protected] Thanks, Reeves

I just recently had one of my mantises go through a very stressful molt. It now has a piece of molted exoskeleton still attached to its face (right around the eyes). Is it possible for me to remove this with tweezers? It's been like this all day and the situation hasn't gotten any better. I'm...

Has anyone ever tried breeding flying roach species,such as little green roaches (Panchlora nivea), for feeding Gongys or other mantids that prefer flying food? Will this hender female Gongys from producing oothecae?

Is it okay to use super glue to attach an ootheca to the wall of the incubation chamber? I've read that it works, but I worry that the glue is toxic.

I've decided I would like to somehow display my growing collection of mantids. Do anyone know of a place where I can purchase or order a shelf or display case that can hold several enclosures?
