What a bunch of cute babies you have.

 

[Birdfly]

Well out of the ten nymphs i had only one is a male <_< oh well better than none i spose.

I could end up with no nymphs or loads ?

Some of an adult female feeding and some mites she is carrying

=P

well anyways

NICE SHOTS

 

[Birdfly]

Thanks, no they are all the same animals

Nice pictures! I love the pic of the little nymph, looks cute :lol:

If you have a problem with mites, why not try some predatory mites? You can buy them as a biological control for mites in green houses. Should clear up your mites in no time.

One of my most wanted mantids :lol: :lol: So pretty!!!

 

[Birdfly]

Thanks guys, do you see the mites on her face on the last pic? i wonder if its because she had a bee from my window the other week ? they can carry mites... :mellow:

 

[Giosan]

Maybe the enclosure she's in has mites?

We have mites in our FF cultures (can't get rid of them :S) but none of our mantids has mites... To get the mites to come off you have to put the mantis in a dry enclosure for some time i read..

 

[collinchang635]

What do mites do to a mantid?
