    ismart (Paul) - (US)

    I purchased two mantis religiosa ooths from Paul at a FANTASTIC price. On top of that, I was pleasantly surprised to recieve a 3rd one in the box for FREE. He is a good communicator and quick shipper. I would gladly trade with him again. ---Barry

    MIkael Kuo (Villosa) or Dana Kuo

    Bought a Ghost Ooth. He had some computer issues and was out of communication for a week, but more than made up for it by sending a little gift in the form of an extra ooth. I would gladly do buisiness with him again. Contrary to other reviews here, he has proven himself...at least to...

    Eggbound?

    I had this happen to two of my female orchid mantids. One female laid an ooth back in July. It hatched successfully. She never laid another. She just kept getting bigger and bigger and eventually died about a month ago. I have another female orchid that mated back in September. She has...

    Caught an African Budwing in Texas?

    Stagomantis Limbata it is I think. After looking on the internet tonite, Im pretty sure that is what she is. She REALLY looks like the budwings I have at home though. Even the colors are similar. She does not have the dark bands inside of her "raptors" though.

    Caught an African Budwing in Texas?

    She does have fully developed wings...though they are "Bud" wings. I was not aware of any North American Species that had budwings. Can anyone else chime in on this and help identify? By the Way Hypoponera...I'm staying with my inlaws in Edgewood...other side of Albuquerque from you.

    Caught an African Budwing in Texas?

    My family and I were travelling from Oklahoma City to New Mexico today to see family over the weekend. We stopped at a rest stop in Texas..about half way between the Oklahoma border and Amarillo, TX. My daughter and I always go on a Bug Safari when we are out like this. I was shocked...and...

    My budwing is about to die

    My adult female laid a HUGE ooth a couple of weeks ago. The end of her abdomen was never the same. It was almost like she pushed too hard and her abdomen never close back up. It looked a little swollen right at the tip the abdomem. After a couple of day I noticed that she was not defecating...

    OGIGA

    I had paid to have an adult female budwing shipped to me from OGIGA. I had a male that needed a mate. In return, I agreed to give OGIGA the first ooth. He shipped the female promply. She was packaged very well and was VERY healthy. The transaction went well and I would gladly deal/trade...

    Don't think I am ever going to keep Paradoxa again

    I have raised 7 ghosts. One of them died for no apparant reason. He was eating/acting fine one day....hanging dead from the top of his cage the next. 4 of them made it to adult hood with no problems...shedding or otherwise. 2 of them had bad sheds were deformed in some way. I keep humidity...
