Fresh captive-hatched nymphs of these mantis-like water bugs (Abedus herberti). Care requirements are similar to those of mantids, but with fewer molting issues. One difference, obviously...they live in water! They eat all the same foods as mantids of similar sizes so they make an uncomplicated addition to any mantis keeper's live collection. Lifespan is also similar to that of mantids.
Here is a life cycle video I found on YouTube:
Hatchling nymphs $7
Adults $10
Shipping as low as $5 to most US destinations with live arrival guarantee.
Interested in ordering other bugs with your water bugs? Just ask!
