My female Heterchaeta fell from her molt this morning, she couldn't be saved..I am gutted

 

[bobericc]

Great to see your creos have mated, you are doing really good, really not as many people now compared to how many that used to keep creo around.

Great work breeding the creos! and nice adult male budwing! how big is your budwing, length wise? he looks to be affinis. I had agrionina. Im wondering how much bigger the affinis males are compared to agrionina. Awesome idolo!

Sorry for your loss.. It really is upsetting... especially when you work so hard for them...

 

[dmina]

Thank you so much Bobericc and MantidBro.. Got my first ooth from the creos...

Now my big news!

I got babies.... My first ooth to hatch.. from A.japonica...











So excited...they are so small... but so cute!

I'll update again soon... thanks for looking...

 

[dmina]

I raised her & her mate from L2 , successfully bred and hatched her ooth... Second generation! .... sooooo cool!

This is what they looked like about L5ish some of them were brown, some had little green jackets... So cute!





Then when they got their bud wings...



When they got their wings...




Thanks for looking...

It astonishes me how fast they grow. Congrats and good luck with all your future projects. Thanks for sharing with us all..

Im also confused and im hoping you can help me out with this.. I thought that if you buy them as l2s or so and breed them their babies would be first generation ?

I think you are right... I might have jumped the gun... as I was talking with a friend yesterday... we were kind of figuring that out... I figured I raised them from L2... so that was the first generation I raised... but I think I was wrong... I think these nymphs are the first generation of these mantis... (just second generation I'm raising)

I think that is correct now... So this is actually the first generation of Acromantis japonica I have bred.

Sorry for the uninformed first post... I got a little excited... and didn't think it through... At this point I think I am correct?... any input?

Thanks for looking in.. and I promise to be more educated, before I post

Please stay tuned... I will update soon...
