@tehshlendo so I should probably separate them? They're all three near each other now so idk

So I recently got a few nymph ghost mantids a few weeks ago. They're l3 since they molted once from l2 when I got them. Since the speices is communal I've housed them together (they came together in their packaging as well from  the breeder) one of the nymphs keeps chasing the others then stops...

@CosbyArt the black has been gone. She's been doing fine for 3 days, no black, it's all good. 

Hi! My mantid is an adult and recently she laid an ootheca without being mated (I disposed of it) and she ate 3 super worms (small size) she's been fine but today I noticed she has black dots on some of her cage leaves and she was hanging from the top of the cage, her butt dripping of black...

@CosbyArt This morning I noticed when I turned on the light her eyes were black, when before they were green, she's an adult so she isn't molting,  i have pictures before and then after

Yes, I've recently moved my mantis from one house to another and while feeding her I noticed a small blue dot on the tip of her left antenna, she ate well and licked honey, she's been acting okay, should I be worried?

Welcome!

Hello, I recently bought a new zooarium for my New Zealand mantis and have noticed that the top mesh is allowing too much humidity to leave the enclosure, I have a humidity hydrometer in my enclosure and I spray it daily, I wanted to know if there were any other ways to add to the aid in keeping...

@CosbyArt Thank you for the information, I already knew that (due to my friend owning one) and his mantid is doing very well, I am now deciding if I want one though, due to the fact I have a very playful cat, and I don't know if it would be safe for the mantid to live in my house, I'm torn with...

@crabbypatty I will! I have pictures of the cute lil mantids my friend owns (The New Zealand is my background on my phone lol!) so I will definitely post once he's all snug in his new house, do you have any tips? 

@crabbypatty Lmao, My best friend has one, and he told me its an easy breed (He owns a giant African adult, I can't remember the other breed that is at L3, and a adult New Zealand) I love how the New Zealand looks and how cute she is when I hold her, she is adorable and seems to know me very...

@Serle I think its based on how long we've been here and how much we interact and such, not on much of a ranking.  Though, Whatever it is, we seem to be in the same area! Lol, I hope your day is going good! c:  Lindsey. c: 

@crabbypatty Yes, I live on the East Coast. 

@CosbyArt Thank you! i definitely will 

@Serle Thank you so much for the lovely intro! Welcome to you also if you're new (I noticed the small one dot so I assumed, oops) But thank you again ! <3

@crabbypatty Thank you! Also, I plan on getting a New Zealand breed (my friend has one and he says they're an okay starter and that I have enough experience with how they work) So that is what my best bet idea is, but if you have better ideas, please let me know! Thank you again!

hello, from the USA, I think your mantids look stunningly beautiful (the pictures you took were great) and I wish you luck with their molts to come!

Hello, My name is Lindsey and I am a new member to this mantid forum, I am an aspiring mantid owner (getting my first one within the next week) and I have been told by a friend who owns three mantids that this would be the best idea, to join and learn more about mantids and how they work. I...
