egyptian mantis hatch!!!

[robo mantis]

so that means i can ship them now like sell them?

 

[Rick]

ok so you think they could survive shipping?

People ship them all the time and they are fine. This time of year when it's hot overnight shipping is pretty much the only way to go to ensure survival.

 

[robo mantis]

ok sounds good i will put them up for sale is $5.00 a good price?

 

[Rick]

Maybe go through the classifieds and see what others are charging.

 

[robo mantis]

i would say $5.00 and for 5 mantids $20.00

 

[robo mantis]

is that to pricey?

 

[Rick]

Seems about right. I don't know anything about that species though. See if they sell and if not you may have to reduce it.

 

[robo mantis]

no one is offering people sell ooths like crazy because they have to many but some people don't want ooths because to many nymphs so i can selling nymphs way easier to care for that like 50

Just a little help in case your fruit fly culture runs out too quickly, this time of year there should be tons of tiny insects outside. Just turn on your porch light at night and you should get tons of things like little leafhoppers and such around your light, also very small moths and flies come too. It's easy to catch them and also cheaper than buying flies.
