D_Hemptress is super cooperative and communicative. My 5 S. limbata nymphs (plus extra) arrived in great shape and with lovely presentation. I will definitely buy from or trade with her again.

Dave is terrific. The package was neat and well put together, and everything was alive and well. Good communication with Dave, too, who is a nice guy and a conscientious seller who wanted to make sure everything got here OK. I will definitely look to buy from him again.

Steve was terrific to deal with. My nymphs were plentiful (with some nice extras thrown in), packed well and shipped promptly. I will definitely buy from him again.

I have plentiful numbers of Parabacillus coloradus and Diapheromera covillea. I collect the P. coloradus in my front yard. They are usually a nice salmon color, but sometimes gray or tan colored. The D. covillea, which feed (seemingly exclusively) on creosote, I collect south of town. The...

Hey, Chris. I was wondering if maybe you could send me a few of your b. mendica nymphs (along with those 5 s. pretiosa nymphs) to round out that order we still had hanging from last fall. I'm open to other species, too. I'm getting down to just a few mantids right now, so I would love a...

I've just started using pyracantha myself (thought I don't yet know how it will work with hatchlings), and am really pleased with it. Particularly since it really is so easy to find.

I would be very much in favor of this plan. I keep parabacillus coloradus, which I find in my front yard and still have about three survivors in my terrarium right now. Also diapheromera covillea (a creosote eater), which is a big, impressive phasmid I collect near where I live here in New...

I think I sent you a pm before. Did you get it?

The miomantis I got from Robert were all beautifully packed and doing fine. He was very easy to deal with, and communicates well. Thanks, Robert.

I keep having more and more easy, perfect transactions with Rebecca and forgetting to leave feedback. She really has a handle on everything, is very professional, and is obviously just a lovely person who is glad to answer even the most boneheaded questions. I can't say enough good things...

Sending pm now.

Congratulations! That's a perfect solution. Please ignore my follow-up email I just sent this morning.

Dave sent me ghost nymphs--both the ones ordered and a few extra! And everybody arrived in great shape. The packing was wonderful. I will definitely buy mantids from him in the future. Thanks, Dave.

I'm planning on using the same 2.5 gal enclosure for some L3 ghost nymphs. How many do you think can coexist peacefully, assuming plenty of flies, and lots of branches in there for them to choose from?

Another great transaction with Massaman, who again threw in freebies, and even sent a couple of free ooths in a follow-up shipment.

I agree that Paul is a great guy--sent me some wonderful flower nymphs at a great price, and tossed in a couple of free nymphs to boot. I would definitely buy from him again.

This guy is just super nice, very helpful and patient with all of my noobish questions. The ooths he sent arrived in great shape, having been very carefully packed. I would definitely buy or trade from him again.

I bought two native nymphs from Yen. The packaging was wonderful, and Yen was very communicative and helpful with me as a beginner with mantids. I plan on doing as much business with Yen as space will allow in the future!

I was very excited to see your post! I'm also focusing on native phasmids, and particularly ones from my area here in central New Mexico. I'm very new to all of it, though, and right now have a grand total of two found insects and maybe about 10 ova. Based on internet research and reference...
