Sanks Laura!
I added some sticks to my home made cubes in such a way as to where they stay in by themselves even if you pick the cube up and move it around. Seems to look and work pretty good. We don't need no stinkin' doors. Still running open bottom.
If you look close enough there is a ghost mantis in the top cube visible.
And the chinese in the bottom cube just shed right off the side wall mid day.
Also thought this shot was funny.
I released all of my Limbatas today as the one I thought was male was not.
See ya next year lil dudettes.

An idolo made it to L4 last night. A black Idolo now. Like my black gongy.
Also,
Here is what happens when you use honey for your flies. They all die in 3 days.
Use water crystals and fly food from Mantisplace to make 50 flies live in a tiny deli cup for two weeks. lol
All dead flies from honey. No bueno
They step in the honey and track it everywhere and they all die. No bueno.
Use water crystals and fly food from mantisplace and guess what? They outlive the flies with honey. =P
Also,
Had to slip these in. 2 fast 4 u.

She looks like she needs a hug. :mellow:
2 of my Idolos are now L4! Woohoo!
You have an adult male Ghost? I wish mine would molt already. He's taking his good old time. :angry:

Yes I actually lost the adult male last night but found him again in my planter. lol
The female has already laid an ooth. I am not positive if it is fertilized or not.
Rick says if you didn't see it, it didn't happen. Makes sense to me.
I have to try to mate them but have been working my butt off and going out every night to boot. :blink:
I left them together once for a while already and thats when I lost the male because I forgot while playing halo. I did find him again so no worries.
Soon hopefully. Maybe tomorrow if I get a night off. :lol:
Edit:
I'd like to add the fact that Ghost mantids are much harder to mate than Yen's Acromantis Magna were.
