My lab is doing a research project on evolved preferences. We need a constant supply of mantids that are small enough to eat fruit flies that don't require a permit. IF anyone has some soon-to-hatch Chinese mantis oothecae or a large amount of L1-L3 nymphs they want to sell, please let to know. 

I have a subadult, close to molting, male orchid mantis. Looking to get him to bred.  Ideally, you'd pay to ship him to you, then send me about 20 L2 nymphs if you successfully breed him. I'd pay for shipping on those   Pet me if you're interested. 

$40 each or 75$ for both. $10 for priority shipping. Will calculate express. Live arrival guarantee for express shipping only.

Have a nice female that I'm looking to mate. Will buy outright or send you 1/2 the ooths. Let me know if you can help.

I have a very fat female who needs to mate soon. Would prefer to buy a male outright, but I can trade for some of the ooths as well.

Does anyone else wish that it were required to put prices in classified ads? It's kind of annoying to know that you want a species, but have no clue how much it is going to cost, and you have to wait a few hours to contact someone just for a price. If it's more than you're willing to pay you...

I just bought an orchid mantis about a week ago. She came in, and wouldn't open her right raptor arm. She also refused food, but that was likely because she was getting ready to molt (she did today). But after the moot I see her walking and she still won't open that arm. There doesn't seem to...

I ordered these from Carolina Biological Supply for a science experiment during the semester, but I didn't order them in time so they didn't hatch and the semester is over. According to Carolina Biological Supply, these should hatch in about 2 more weeks, but I have no way of knowing if they...

Looking for a younger sub adult or press violin mantis to mate with my female. I know it's a longshot, but it doesn't hurt to try. Will buy outright or send you some ooths.

looking for the species in the title. Maybe some other cool species if you have them at the right price. Want to start keeping mantids again for spring, and I need a male for my violin mantis. Message me if you have something.

I'm wanting to move to Los Angeles in about 2-3 years. Someone just told me that there weren't a lot of bugs in SoCal. Is this true? Is it possible/easy to catch enough bugs there to feed pet mantids?

I have an adult female rhombodera valida for sale. I left the male in her cage overnight and found the remains of him on the bottom of the cage. Mating may have happened, but I'm not sure. The female's wings don't sit properly on her abdomen and she has a small, circular part missing from her...

I have 5 of these, and want to house them communally, but I'm okay keeping them individually too. Has anyone ever seen cannibalism in this species?

I have 2 males who need mates. Let me know if you have anything.

If anyone has a female for him and his brother, message me. :)

PM me with offers. I have 2 males who need a partner.

I had these species last year and really enjoyed them. Are they still around?

I just want something I can feed with all the bugs I'm seeing around. Especially wanting: Wahlbergiis Empusa Violins Hierodula Creobroter
