My Budwing Mantis female surprised me by laying an eggcase that hatched, something I
did not expect because my friend who gave her to me did not say she had been mated!
Now I have far too many to keep feeding (they eat a LOT!), so I will have to sell some to
keep the small group I hope to raise well-fed. They are all very healthy, and are beginning
to shed their skins the second time now. I checked a couple of places with ads for them, and
think that $7 each is a very fair price for their size now, even the ones that are growing fastest.
I do have quite a few to find homes for, so if you want to buy a group, I will offer a good price!
I can weigh the mailing container, and with your zip code, can tell you the cost to mail it to you
using the post office website www.usps.com
And you can decide if you want the ones that are larger (2 skin sheds), or the smaller mantises.
She has already made another eggcase. Does anyone want to maybe trade a few live mantises for it?
I don't want to destroy it, but I cannot keep the many dozens of baby mantises I will soon get again!
