I looked this up on youtube, its pretty crazy.

Gave it 24 hours to dry up (molted yesterday), its about 3 inches in length. Sorry again for the poor quality, I will be getting a camera in the future.

Thanks everyone! Nice! and yeah dude its frickin amazing how large they are when they emerge from their old skin.

Will do and ty!

Will post pics later today when its ready to be handled.

Don't quote me on this because i'm a noob, but i'm pretty sure all female mantids lay oothecae regardless if they were mated or not. The difference being that if you didn't mate the female, the ooth wont be fertile.

Thanks for the reply! Ill definitely keep that in mind :)

Nice mantis!

Yeah, with ghosts you can easily tell the sex by the crest. Males have a skinnier/more jagged crest. I've also read that females have 1-2 kinks in the crest compared to 2-3 kinks on a male. Here's an example- Got the pic from a ukmantidforum post. Female on left male on right.

My Tenodera sinensis molted again. Oh and can anyone tell which instar its at, based off the wing buds?(sorry for bad pic) Oh and my ghost

Nice, thanks for the reply.

Cool, and thanks for the reply!

Hey, I was wondering if anyone here has had or knows if the raptorial spikes can be damaged by striking a hard object(walls of an enclosure)? Like when they go to strike their prey but miss and slightly tap the wall.

Ok after recollecting what went on today I'm going to recast my vote for Sueb4653. The blushing seemed suspicious.

Nooo! Im an innocent villager I swear! I was simply walking home from a huge day of holiday shopping and was surprised as everyone else. I vote brancsikia339, hopefully people will realize I'm not the wolf. :helpsmilie: :surrender:

I wonder who it is :shifty:
