Chinese Mantid cuties looking for a good home. Free

[Digger]

They're adorable, cuddly, and the best mantis companions on the planet. These are currently L3

Tenodera sinensis - of course! Easy care and the adults are almost big enough to play Frizzbie.

Perfect for beginners or the most experienced (remember the fun of your first T. sinensis??)

Let me know here or email [email protected]

Don't let these indoor, spoiled youngsters face the dangers of the wild.

Your making me crave adorable nymph butts. These are still one of my favorite species. So active, curious, and goofy.

Why is it laying like that. . . ? Never seen a mantid or nymph do that.

My budwing boy and my ghost do that, I had never seen it either. Doesn't even seem to be defensive or nervous either, I have no clue?

Orchid nymphs lay flat when startled. (at least mine did) also it could be really full

Can you find the ones that you released? I can't find any of the ones I released. If you release more watch out for...BIRDS..... I think mine were bird food

I find mantids do this to absorb warmth from the surface which they're pressing against.

Guess you could call it that Rick. I've never posted a give away before. Guess it went in the wrong category. This is not for any profit btw.

The mantids are no charge. Would be nice to get reimbursed for the ship costs.

 

[Nicolas]

So wait- I tell you my address and you simply ship them here? Or do I pay shipping?

Oh and are they L4 now?

I'd hope you'd pay shipping. It is about $10 USPS. Although sending these kids to Nevada may now be a little risky because of the heat. Yes, some are L4 most are still L3. They molt at this stage of development about every 10 - 12 days.

 

[Nicolas]

you have a point, it is outrageously hot here sometimes.

I'll think about it.
