[QUOTE="PhilinYuma, post: 90724, member: 2509"] O.K. all you mantis shippers out there! Peter has just raised the "shipping quality" bar a little higher! We started talking anout a shipment over a week ago, I think, when the weather in Yuma was in the cool end of the nineties (around 35C), but by the time I had finsihed changing my order and asking questions, we realized that the temp today was supposed to be 103F. This concerned Peter a lot, but me only a bit, because it would still be in the nineties while the package was out for delivery and these were S. limbata, Coming Home, but just after noon today, it was already 107F (40C+), not really hot, but not good for packaged mantids! All five mantids arrived alive, though one, unpredictably and unavoidably, has had a bad molt. They were in individual pots and the box was completely encased inside with styro, with one of those nifty gel "Polar Packs," but even a glacier couldn't survive our weather! That is my last shipment until the Fall! :D Thanks Peter. [/QUOTE]
