Does anyone have any advice on how much/how often one should feed their mantids honey? I ask this because I just had a little bit of a scary experience. I must have had some honey residue on my fingers (I'd made a sandwich earlier and had decided to give my crippled limbata some honey while the...

I need an adult male paradoxa to mate with my female. Ready to mate is preferred, but near-ready is fine too. PM me with offer and details if interested in selling

Well. I just have to say this. I have had some horrible luck these last couple of weeks. Let me list the deaths in chronological order. Adult male limbata (probably the female near him plus his inability to mate drove him crazy) Sub female pictipennis (unknown) Female orientalis (mismolt)...

I was just wondering if you could get two mantids from the same subspecies, but different species to mate (ex. creo pictipennis and creo nebulosos) and whether or not anything would come of it. Has anyone tried this, and if so what came of it?

So I asked cha cha what the rarest mantis in North America was... They said apteromantis aptera. Seems like a reasonable answer, however when I asked why was the rarest in the world, they kept giving me facts about sea stars, echinoderms and rays. So is there a known or agreed on rarest species...

Ok well I have one male and one female limbata. The male is currently mounting her, and shes distracted with whats left of a cricket. But heres my problem. This is the third time he's mounted her, and so far theyve never connected. The first two times he seemed to have mounted wrong, but now...

I hate looking at the classified's section, seeing an awesome mantis for sale, and realizing you have mo money :(

My stagmomantis limbata male molted to adult last night :D the excitement never gets old. How long do you think i should wait to mate him? Last time the male just went crazy trying to get at the female through his cage so i knew it was time.

Ok well my only brunneria borealis began shedding earlier tonight. Everything was normal until i came back in to her having one claw still stuck inside her skin. At first she was unresponsive. Should i pull her claw out or wait? I really dont want her to die

My little sister caught her first mantis (stagmomantis sp.) about three weeks ago. Today he was found at the bottom of the container with his legs pulled close together in that dead bug position, but is still alive. I myself am wondering about this, because i am often plagued by this unknown...

Well recently there have been a lot of black widows around the house. As they are the only type of spider I truly hate, they often die. So today I came home from vacay to find an egg sack where the fattest one used to hide. My first reaction was to kill it, but since I know there are people here...

Hey I was wondering if there was any better way to sex creoborter pictipennis than counting segments. Right now they are L4/L5. Can't get any pics atm.

STAGMOMANTIS LIMBATA SORRY FOR ANY CONFUSION Hello I'm selling L2 and L3 bordered mantids because the amount of mantids that come from over 7 ooths is a little overwhelming :online2long: If you would like to buy nymphs, or ooths later (when my females lay some fertilized ooth) they are $5...

My brunneria borealis nymphs won't eat. Is it because I'm giving them melanogaster fruitflies? I spray them once or twice a day. Anyone have any idea?

Hi my name is classified, and I joined this site for more resources on mantids. I currently have too many california mantids to count, a brunneria borealis and the ooth she came out of, and am receiving ghost mantids and creoborters this week.
