Denise no matter the species I hope you enjoy them. Seems mislabeled species or not the priority should be on enjoying them as pets. :D

Awww... sorry for your loss... RIP Apollo

Well that was a real group effort... Thanks all, now I know what they are...

Thomas the container I got from hibiscusmile a member here on the board.. she has a website where she sells all different size containers.. Without having to eat all the candy... LOL

Got lost in a reply and didn't realized it updated :blush:

The website sells them empty as well, just candy is the usual thing put in them. Seems like a perfect container though without being too small or large. What is hibiscusmile's website? - I'll have to take a look.

 
thank you, its the most unfortunate part of the hobby indeed. But atleast he got to do his job, and he was great at it.

Also to provide pictures of a male and female Stagmomantis Carolina you can check my gallary in the album named " Apollo & Flora. " both of which I mated and got many many ooths from.

R.i.p Apollo, he passed away today.

Sorry to hear about Apollo, I know you lost Flora as well just a few weeks ago. May they rest in piece.

My first breeding attempt was a success.. and the male still has his head!.. i was so worried.. and that girl just kept eating through the whole thing. 4 worms...I was afraid she was going to explode! They stayed attached from 1 till 8:30 ...





Will update again soon... Please stayed tuned, and thanks for looking again

 
Nice! You mated the Acromantis japonica? If you get nymphs from her oothecas would you like to trade a few for my M. binotata if I successfully get nymphs from my Miomantis binotata?

Edit: Oh, sorry. I did not notice that you already had the M. binotata in your collection.

It seems like the Miomantis binotata is going to molt in a few days. Thank you for the updates and pictures.

 
Denise I have to ask you, do you ever manage to escape your mantises once and awhile?! :D Seems you have so many I would be overwhelmed haha. :clown:

Quite lovely to see so many different species and mantids, you should be proud.

LOL... Yes, occasionally... but I don't want to miss a thing... So many species... that is an OCD thing...( I still have a large want list) I am just glad... I was able to stop (collecting) when I did...

I had to slow down and enjoy the ones I had... so I turned to taking pictures of them... I just wish I could do them better justice... with my pics..

I am very proud... and fortunate to have found this interesting hobby... Who knew??? ... bugs could be cute!... And I shock myself each time I say that... LOL

Glad to hear they let you out. :D

Sounds like good advice in there, enjoy the ones you have. Ah the hobby inside the hobby - photography. I've responded about your camera in another thread. Hopefully we can get you shooting better photos soon.

I feel the same way about finding the hobby. I bet your shocked, I know what you mean everyone loves my mantis including ones I would never have thought. Although spiders are still too far a stretch lol.
