Below are some of the molts I collect. Do you? That's cool. If you don't, I recommend you trying.. Some species that are included down below are H. Coranatus, C. Pictipennis, D. Dessicata, and P. Paradoxa.

 
Mantis skins, you can never have too many mantis skins.

One time for an school art project I made this mantis head shaped box. There were two peak holes where the mantis eyes were painted on so the viewer could look inside. In there I had glued an old ootheca then upwards each shedding size up to the subadult shed of aTenodera sinensis. When my teacher looked in, she screamed. Apparently she was deathly afraid of bugs. I didn't care for her at all so it was a nice day. :batman:

 
Being my first go at breeding I admit I have kept every single one of my Tenodera sheds..... Being pagan shed skins have multiple uses along with the fact that it's mostly sentimental :)

 
After a couple years of telling myself I'd do this, I finally stuck with it long enough to get a ghost's whole life cycle. I also figured out that a large pill sorter is a good way to keep them.
