I just noticed this after all these years, but the male mantis crossed his antennae into a loop and would occasionally tap the back of the female mantis in quick succession. Has anyone seen this before? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kXY_NMdPTPIJbM35vKiQAIOs64yJz2JF/view?usp=drivesdk

Alright Mantis pros. What species of mantids love tropical/subtropical conditions?

I have ghosts, creobroter pictipennis, and sphodros "blue flash" so far. Looking for other species as well as the ones stated above if you have them in L3-4

I have 3 sphodros right now. two of which are males and one is female. The males are doing great and are active hunters. The female on the other hand...I think I may have raised her wrong. When she was in her second instar, I tried putting in a housefly to see if she'd be able to catch it...

I noticed that there isnt really one post dedicated to all of the different stores for feeders. I thought we could organize it here and have it be easy to reference. I'll start on a list tonight or after Sunday. I emailed some if these places and havent gotten a response as to where they are...

So I've been keeping the ooth in these conditions. Do you guys think this is suitable? I think I'll definitely have to give away/sell the nymphs once they're at L2, I don't have the equipment to house many mantids. How many can you usually expect from one ooth? And what are the chances of it...

I noticed this above my porch today Is it possibly a ootheca? It's about the size of a usb drive. If it is, is it possible to determine what type of mantis laid it? I'm guessing the lines mean that it already hatched? :/

So after doing some research, I've decided I want to house something in the Sphodromantis genus. I was hoping to get some feedback into what I want to setup and advice on how to work out the kinks with my setup. First off, I want to have a single communal housing tank (if possible?) I have 32oz...

Hello everyone, New to praying mantises and excited to learn as much as I can about them! It all started yesterday when I went to my friend's house to study for our term exams. I saw his setup and I haven't stopped reading about mantis care ever since. It's been about six hours since I last...
