My L1 nymphs were doing that yesterday with Hydei flies... Although most of them were unsuccessful, one or two did get 1 fly in each hand. It was kinda funny to watch

Funny you said that, just as i was reading your post my girlfriend texted me asking if she should look for bugs lol :) I have some Hydei coming in the mail, worse case scenario ill feed them some pinheads, thats the smallest food i can find around my area, no one seems to carry fruit flyes.

Tenodera sinensis

I came home after a walk late last night and discovered that the Ootheca hatched!! The only problem is that it seems that some of the mantids have something on their back legs that doesnt seem to come off, looks like part of the ootheca maybe... also some have been hanging there since last...

I need some mel, let me know when you ship again

Holy Cow, what camera/lens did you use for these pics?

speaking about misting... do you guys use normal water from the sink or purified/distilled water?

I will take your advice! I ended up having to take the double sided tape out because the ooth fell off of it. I put a little bit of hot glue on the stick that the ooth is attached to and stuck it on that way, this way it should be safer for the nymphs when they hatch since there will be no...

welcome! New here also, I've learned alot from the threads

What do you guys think? I picked this up at walmart and cut a hole in the top. I used fiberglass netting on top and on the side. The Ooth is attached to the top net with doublesided tape (which is also hotglued to the net just in case).

haha, keep on asking the questions, this is helping me out also since I'm completly new at this

I am thinking of setting up my ootheca in a 10 gallon tank with a very fine net glued under the screen that would cover it. Or should I set it up in a large platic container? Any advice?

i guess when i order a fruit fly culture i'll order some ladybugs too. Speaking of.... I heard some people feed mantids pinhead crickets when theyre L1 and L2, would those work?

Sick looking mantids

Hopefully they will take care of them long enough to give my tomatoes a chance to get ripe

Hey my name is Tiberiu, I'm 24 years old... from the philly area. I have several plants in my back yard and in front of the house that have been getting destroyed year after year by aphids and flea beetles so I ended up researching ways to deal with those nasty creatures without chemicals. One...
