hey all,

so I have way too many Otomantis scutigera right now, so if anyone in the US wants a few ooths, just pm me with your address

these little boxers aren't too hard to breed. The nymphs have a bit higher mortality than you'd expect for a Hymenopodid during the first 3 or 4 instars but they make up for that by laying dozens of ooths that each hatch about 30 babies 2 months later. the adults live a really long time; I have a 4 month old adult male!

hatchling through i3 eat Drosophila melanogaster, they aren't very cannibalistic, and they are little so no need for giant setups :)

all spoken for currently
