I am sorry for the quality of photos. They were taken in Spain, under a provisory tent, without the macro lens or anything like it :) The temperatures were about 40 centigrades even though I was taking these shots in the late afternoon.. Anyway.. the mantis I present to you is an endemic...

Hi, I finally captured a scene of an ooth hatching. This is the link to the video: And here is a glimpse: You can see some larvaes are hanging from their first shed. Interesting colour do the nymphs have after hatching, they dearken almost immediately to black.

After a fairly long absence from breeding anything I am back :) I want to show you the pics of a new species in captivity, originated in India. This is Ephestiasula sp. captured and bred by the german breeders. I have many ooths now and 3 pregnant females so I may be able to sell some ooths...

Mantis55 is an excellent person to trade with. He bought 2 ooths from me, and send the money in a registered letter, I received the money after 3 working days, just as soon as the ooths arrived to him. He is 100% trustworthy breeder from Germany. I really recommend!

I am very dissapoined with Mantisman07- he is a new person to the forum. He claimed that he had send me 6 ooths for exchange to some adult pregnant females and nymphs (!). I haven't received anything for 3 weeks. We were meant to exchange mantids for ooths with mantisman07. At first I tried to...

I've got a pair of Creobroter sp. and I have trouble with mating. The female is very agressive and male so hyperactive, that he is disturbed by the slightest move and is not approaching female even a bit. He is a week after final mould and she has more than 3 weeks... Some hints? I am worried...

Hey everyone, I was wondering do you have some info about Creoboter pictipennis. I just got a pair of L4 and I want to make them the best possible conditions (aren't many in Poland so I have few info). I am curios about how many molds they have. Links to some pics made by my friend: (Ceobroter...

I am beginning to wonder why do you english speaking breeders use some strange names of mantids e.g. flower mantis or budwings instead of the latin names? Refering to a species by "flower mantis" is not accurate, it could be as well P. wahlbergii, P. ocellata or even Creoboter sp. It is a...

How much time do the male of wahlbergi live after maturing? It is importnat for me, because my male matutred yesterday and my female is early subimago now. Is there a chance for them to mate or he will die before this happens?

Big apology if the similar topic was already explained earlier, but I have a Sphodromantis with her eyes almost blind. The ocelli were "melted" by a mysterious desease (see here- it was taken some 3 molts ago and the illness was just developing...
