Adult Phyllocrania paradoxa!

(yes I know I need to clean the cage lol..... the flash really made the water spots "pop" )

I woke up and checked my ghost container this morning and there I found a beautiful adult male Ghost mantis! The others should soon follow suit

Cool! B) How many do you have in there?

Great job, Tanner! I like the branched cage.

Only 4.... my other female had a bad molt so she is secluded for her safety.

Great job, Tanner! I like the branched cage.

Thanks They really like hanging on those branches.... there's a bunch of other stuff on the other side of the cage and yet they are never over there

Thats a nice setup. Have they ate each other much? or they get along pretty well?

A couple of them are super aggressive especially for this species so sadly I have lost a couple. It doesn't make sense to me as when I lost them the cage had those branches stretching from each end of the container and they were rarely anywhere near each other and were fed like crazy (one day I'd have 20+ flies in the cage after they hatched from the pupae, and by the next day maybe 1 or two would be left.... and I feed them like this regularly )
