Awesome Just wondering how can you tell if they are male or female? im just getting into mantids and i dont know a whole lot. yeah actually that was his first dubia ever and he munched the whole thing down and thanks! :)

Im not 100% sure the website i bought him from said he was a L3 when i got him and it only molted one time since iv had him

when i got him they said it was L2 and only molted once, how old do you think it is?

He/she is eating a roach on my hand in the last two pictures :D

yeah it is a hieradula also what should i feed him i have fruit flys but they seem to small and i have baby dubia roaches i tryed to feed and it didn't strike at it. what do you feed yours?

Also just a question how do i tell when its going in a molt and what dose L2 mean sorry this is my first mantis and im still learning

ok cool im going to get a deli cup in a little bit, and i dont think i need to make a whole culture but im going to i only have this one and will have another one different kind of mantis though tuesday or wednsday

i might have to do that but i dont know what i can put it in because i dont know what those pineapple things are haha could i just put it in a little deli cup?

oh thats a dissapointment :/ i have a pretty big container i bought with it already so it will probally be able to live in there for its life..

Nice! Thats awesome ill go out and get acouple cultres today. Also how big do these Mantis get as adults?

it came with some in shipping but idk how many were in there i just opend the little container and let them loose in there a couple min ago, and yeah i just found out what it is Creobroter pictipennis - Indian Flower Mantis i guess i lucked out or some thing because i was supose to get a ghost...

it isnt? because the other one i would have gotten was a Hierodula patellifera - Indochina/Asian Mantis but this ones scintific name says c Pictipennis. do you know what it is?

Alright thanks that seems easy enough and will those flightless fruit flys work?
