That's how I got my first mantis. ?Chinese mantises tend to be harder to sell because it’s so easy to buy an ooth with hundreds of potential nymphs, and there are many other vendors selling nymphs also. Some of the flashier, more exotic mantids, like orchids, sell a lot easier. But I don’t think Hierodulas would sell too quickly because they’re commonly available.
Hopefully things start picking up for your starter kits, though!
@Synapze There are times I long for an "empty nest". LOL! But most of the time, not. The Indian barks are SOOOOOOO tiny when L1-L3. Though they can be a challenge, I LOVE watching them "fight" when I open their habitat. We keep every nymph separate. So feeding right now for bark nymphs alone if over 100. Add the Chinese and the others.....and we are at a minimum of 3 hours a day. On days all get fed it is 5 hours or more. But again, most days I thoroughly enjoy feeding times. And we have some of the siblings to your Creobroter Pictipennis!
