    Phyllocrania paradoxa / ghost nymphs

    My first ooth from my first pairing has hatched, so that means I'll have ghosts available. This ooth is from parents from different sources if that matters at all to you. $3 each or $5 for 4, shipping depends on your location but US only. I'll ship now or wait until they're L2, your preference.

    Ghost ooths

    All laid within the past few weeks, the bloodlines are mixed if that makes a difference to you. These are the products of my first breeding attempts, so I don't want to charge for the ooths in case they're duds. Just cover shipping ($5 priority/materials) and I'll send you an ooth or two. I have...

    First Ooth

    And we have an ooth! Greta the deepest-green ghost has laid her first ooth, a couple days after an evening with her male suitor. I've paired him with two other ghost girls as well and he connected with them too. I had five ladies, including one whose wings dried puffy, but her sister apparently...

    WTB hydei cultures

    I'm looking for two or three hydei cultures, does anyone have any available? Especially would like one that's currently producing!

    All grown up!

    My first mantis just reached adulthood and I couldn't be more excited if I was the one with new wings! Sadly he's the only D. lobata I have, so he will probably live out his life without personally furthering his genetic legacy, unless there's anyone here who could use a fresh male!

    Hierodula colors - normal or illness?

    A local friend got me into mantises after she bought her budwing nymph. She's out of town right now and I'm caring for her bugs now alongside my own, her budwing and the H. majuscula nymph I gave her when she expressed interest in getting a big mantis. The other four majusculas that I kept have...

    My first ooths!

    Before the sky opened up this morning, I did some bug-hunting while birdwatching and came up with two ooths! I'm 99% sure they're T. sinensis, and one looks a bit iffy, but I decided to bring them home and try incubating them. Of course this means if either or both hatch I'll be inundated with...

    My first mantis

    Thought I'd share a photo of my first mantis Xeno, a D. lobata from Green Oasis that a friend got for me. So I guess I'm proving how much of a newbie I am, since my first mantis is still a nymph! They're rather addicting...can't have just one!

    The H. majuscula babies

    I took some photos of the H. majuscula nymphs that I got from Andrew. I only have a simple Nikon point-and-shoot but I'm experimenting with what it can do and what I can do in post-processing. These little ones are definitely active! Most of my images turned out blurred--and one turned into an...

    Greetings from North Carolina!

    Hello all! My name is Molly and I think I'm a mantis addict. ;) A friend of mine got me started with a D. lobata nymph from GreenOasis, and I was so utterly charmed by my little alien that I've decided to expand my collection. My ghost and creo from Rebecca arrived just today and are both so...
