Hi all, I am looking for a male or two of Phyllovates chlorophaea. I am in the US (US only) - please PM me if you have any for sale. Will also consider subadult males. Thanks!

I was wondering if anyone along the eastern part of the US, esp. Maryland/Delaware area, had access to an old field where they might find some Tenodera angustipennis - the narrow winged mantid. I would like to get ahold of some to compare to the more common Chinese mantid during my pheromone...

Hi All, Does anyone in the US have any Miomantis paykullii of any stage available? I'd like to pick some up to refresh the gene pool in my lab's colony. Let me know what you've got. PM me here. Thank you! ~Jon

Hello everyone, I am still interested in getting ahold of native mantid species in the US, esp. Stagmomantis species carolina, gracilipes, floridensis, and californica. Can anyone help?? Thanks! ~Jon

Hello all, I've got 3 (and soon to be more) fertile oothecae from a female P. ocellata (one of the two types of Spiny Flower Mantid). Her first ootheca has hatched, and her second one isn't far behind. She was remated after ooth 3 so fertility should be high. I've got several other ooths...

I purchased an Asian Giant ooth from Rodney and it came well-packed, even with moss and an extra insect cup/lid setup for swapping back and forth. He also included care instructions and info. Very nice! I'd recommend him as a seller. I'll post again when it explodes into 300 nymphs... :blink:

Hello everyone, I'm just looking for anyone else's experience with rearing Pseudempusa pinnapavonis (or Peacock mantid as some call it). I've had a heck of a time rearing them successfully to adulthood, and I don't know if my conditions are just not optimal for them at all, or if they...

Hello everyone, I am looking for a few ooths from folks out West, of Stagmomantis limbata (also maybe californica or gracilis if anyone KNOWS that's what they've got), but limbata for sure! I am also looking from someone from the East that has or can field collect a few Stagmomantis carolina...

Hello everyone, I have some more orchid mantid nymphs for sale. L1/L2 (mostly L2), and since I have a bunch I want to sell them quickly, so $8 apiece for one, $14 for 2. Further discount on multiple orders, bigger discount on bigger purchases. $20 shipping overnight for all orders. Thanks...

stupid me, heres the pic from the last post:

Hello everyone! Hymenopus coronatus for sale. L1/L2 - $10 each, 5 for $45, 10 for $80, etc. Please PM me if interested, and include the number you want! I have about 60 now, with more to hatch soon. Thanks!

I've got to get rid of some extras that are eating too much! Two females, one male (all adult) of Oxyopsis peruviana. A very pretty green mantid with beautiful yellow wings on the females. Three pairs of Stagmomantis limbata adults. These have reduced wings in the females but also a nice...

I got these from Francisco originally, and they are doing really well. All are at their fourth molt now, and tackling bluebottles with no problem (Oxyopsis peruviana): The last one is a male, the 'runt' of the litter, and molted right after I took the picture, but my camera had run down...

Here's a wee one, just L2 (looks almost furry!):

Hatchling B. mendica L2 B. mendica These are on Forsythia flowers and branches.

Got 20 (some were extras!) wide-arm nymphs from Louis today. All arrived well in good packing, and many had molted along the way - no cannibalism, no deaths - very nice! I would definitely recommend him. Thanks Louis!

I thought you all might enjoy these two signs I've gotten recently: the "No Trespassing" is from the Entomological Society of America Meeting (the vendors have them almost every year, next year's conference is in San Diego in December- stop by!) and the "Beheading" sign was a gift from my...

I'm looking to see what people in the US have in terms of phasmids. I used to keep a bunch of E. tiaratum. I'm interested in those, or H. dilatata or E. calcarata, among others. Let me know if anyone out there has some for sale. Thanks much!

Howdy all, I am looking for a professional quality image of a male Tenodera sinensis or, better still, of a mating Tenodera pair, preferably on a natural background. I am publishing an article on mantid cannibalism in an upcoming issue of The American Naturalist and my coauthor and I need a...
