First Molt!

[tnienhaus]

My biggest chinese mantis molted today and everything went really well.

I was a little concerned and nervous seeing as how these are the first nymphs I've had and I was worried about the molting but everything is great!

This one is growing considerably faster than the others (over twice their size) so I named it Thor lol...

Here is a pic...



When are you able to sex them? Do they have to be adults?

P.S. This wouldn't be possible without everyone's help and posts and information...

Thanks all

Yes you can sex that one easily. Go to the how to link below. It has a section for nymphs and a section for adults.
