I didn't mate her, I found her outside near my milkweed bush. I have food but I have no idea how to incubate the eggs. Any tips on incubation?

Some exciting news! The lil thing was pregnant and laid a small clutch of eggs. I guess laying them took a lot out of her because I found her legs up the next morning. What conditions should I keep the eggs in?

Cool, thanks. Should I mist her at all or will she get all the water she needs from her food?

Hi, I recently found a milkweed assassin bug and managed to capture it without being skewered. I've been looking around a bit and haven't found much on how to care for them. Has anyone cared for them before? I'd really like to know how often I should feed her and what temperature and humidity I...

Ordered 7 budwings from her and 6 of them came in absolutely perfect condition, with only one perishing during shipping. The packing job was excellent. I would definatley recommend her. Thanks again for my lil budwings :D

I used to have 2 huge chaeta sp.'s. They were both massive females about 5 or 6 inches long fully matured. Whats the difference between chaeta sp. and this chaeta? Also, I heard that the sp.'s are rare now? Why is that? Cute pictures btw, I love how perky the little ones look when they stand...

Nikkko are we talking about the same species? How could an almost paper thin stick mantis be aggressive and cannibalistic? I've kept other stick mantids before in very small groups and they showed no aggression towards one another whatsoever.

Hey guys, I just lost the last of my mantids a few days ago and was thinking about getting a brunners mantis. I know they reproduce parthogenetically, but im not to sure how easy they are to rear. Can any of you that have had any experience with this species share any information with me about...

Wish I could help, but I just lost my last mantis yesterday. Good luck!

That lil purple boxer is so cute ;D

Well, I just lost my oldest mantis today, muffin. She was a budwing and had a pretty good run, almost 2 and a half years. I knew she was starting to go last night because her hind legs were hanging. I found her on the ground, legs limp except for her (sharp) raptorials. I folded up a soft paper...

I tested this with some paper, crayons, and an adult female heterochaeta sp. She seemed to be able to see the darker colors better than the lighter ones, although when the color is moving no matter how dark or light it is, she'll try to eat it. I'm sure movement is a key factor here because of...
