All laid from
4 different females.
I don't want any unhappy fellow insect lovers getting the random low count or dud ooth and being unhappy.

.****Thus I prefer to sell ooths in pairs only-
to increase odds-
you will get ooth from 2 different females

1 ooth each/from a different female
to increase odds; and diversify your genetics-
also to give all buyers the same fair chance of hatch rates-

That's the best I can do/offer and is fair to everyone
I want you to have Ghost mantis to experience and enjoy-

ooths are sent with clearly marked laid on dates.
so you know expected hatch time

these have been hatching right at -32 days-
but I say 28-34 days just in case-
**PLEASE be ready-have your fruit flies going and a suitable habitat.

the day they are laid they are marked.
these are not in group habitat; and are coded,
thus I know who and when each ooth is from.
They are checked every single 3-4X AT LEAST and day-fed and monitored.

all are fed a wide diet daily-sometimes 2x a day
all home raised
pantry moths-woods moth-
bottle flies-(they really love flying prey)
and large house flies
also for fat and egg production
they are fed just hatched(soft)darkling beetles-
mealworms-crickets-

I breed all my feeders-on nutritious organic food-and use no carrots-
all crickets-mealworms beetles eat meat/veggie based puppy kibble-NO grain filler-raw vegetables(kale/beans/broccoli/squash/sweet Potatoe and reverse osmosis h2o
bottle flies(spikes) are raised on organic ground turkey meat/blood mix
and houseflies (spikes)on spoiled vegetables-and some organic turkey meat/blood
all adult flies fed on sugar/powder milk and puppy kibble mix / ground thru coffee grinder and RO h20

*to be clear If you want one ooth I will sell one
(I have had at least 4 people that have done so)
*but please understand the possibility of low /no hatch rate w/just 1 ooth-
***and acknowledge same by placing an order.

thank you for understanding-

***-most recent ooths
will now be on sticks/twigs w/laid on dates written on 2 oz cups-
As I've ran out of tongue depressors.

*pix of recent ooth hatches
*last 4 cup pic is 3 ooths divided into 4 cups-fed heavy and about to go out-overnight ups

*recent forum member report
Yesterday at 4:58 PM
luvhannah_
hi! the ooth just hatched and 31 have successfully hatched while 4 got stuck and passed away

* and yet another member another reported 2 ooth/2 diff female hatched same day=52 nymphs-
I've gotten reports or 33-22-15-
and 1 of 7-
and 1 no hatch-could be temps/humidity on caregiver end
your hatch rates may vary

make offer for ooths 1-2 or all

Thanks for looking.

All laid from
4 different females.
These moms were VERY well fed- and confirmed coupled 2 x each with a male-
fed-bottle flies/mealworms/crickets/soft molt darkling beetles, (and the occasional moths-pantry and small forest-that hatch out of my domino roach bin leaves)

Laid on dates always recorded -(usually hatch 28-34 days).
Last batch sold out quick.

I bred these from a university study, that a friend conducted.

Also having been informed of the following info;
thus must include a disclaimer:
(****you assume the inevitable risk of any low#/and apparent possibility of even a 'no hatch ooth')

This is possible; even though I personally visually observed all females mate.
And were joined/coupled/ at least 2 x times each; with a male and left overnight.
They were then separated/both fed and hydrated etc. for 24 hours
and were then placed back together-
Sometimes with a different male as males died off ; or were scared in mating attempt by female aggression.
(I am on disability-so yes; I had time to do all this)

****ooths in pairs only-
I don't want any unhappy fellow bug lovers getting the random low count or dud ooth and being unhappy
***1 ooth from 2 different females to increase odds; and to give all buyers the same fair chance of hatch rates-that's the best I can do/offer.

*2-for $60+ $11 shipping express box
its getting cold in evenings here-id like them to get to new homes soon!
.
also willing to trade for something different-
I'm getting older and still so much to behold-
*I do already have spiny flower on hold and I've lots of ghost nymphs-
but would like to experience something different/unusual

like boxer or -? or giant flower/devil-etc.
(yeah right nobody has those; except you know who;)
and I cant afford that price on less than $xxxx a month SSDI..so... :(

whatever let me know-it doesn't have to be mantis-
emerald roach-black velvet spider-giant jumping spider-rainbow dung beetles...domino roaches (orange)..whip spiders,vinagroons,etc.etc. robber flies,pleasing fungus beetles (pastel ones from west coast) I like all nature/insects thanks.

Thanks for looking.

*you know who you are; and what you did-
I will think of a way around your tricks
and false accusations, to block me here and elsewhere from alerting people to expose you.
I’m interested in purchasing the two ooths. Please let me know the process to complete this as I’m new on this site. Thank you.
