Budwing and Rhombodera basalis adult males

[uhzero]

So i've successfully raised my first 2 praying mantises ever to adults. they're both females and i want to buy adult males of the species so i can breed them. could you guys give me advice on how much adult males of the 2 species are worth, prehaps it might be better to do a 50/50 ootheca split with someone who owns adult males, things like this would be helpful. also, if any of you are interested, i'd love to know how much you'd sell them to me for or if you wanna do the 50/50 split.

There is no way anyone can give you a price. The price is whatever someone is willing to sell them for. There are not set prices. Those are pretty common so the price shouldn't be too high. Place an ad in the classifieds asking for a male. Sometimes you can get a male on loan or you can get the male for free as long as you agree to give half the ooths. It's just whatever the seller and you agree to.
