I am fairly new to the mantid world, but am very eager and willing to learn as much as I can I'm in the US  i'm have been looking to obtain an orchid mantis,  which I know is difficult as they are in high demand.   If anyone has any info or tips I would greatly appreciate it!

Welcome to the forums! I am hoping to have baby orchids soon, and incubating an ooth from my mated female at the moment.

Hi Sarah! Thank you so much for reaching out and welcoming me  I am extremely interested and excited to obtain my first orchid mantis! When they are ready for adoption and if you have any available please let me know!! I would GREATLY appreciate it   I am reading up as much as possible, doing research on terrariums so I have the perfect home for when he/she is ready, as well as a food supplier.

@Hollisniccole Mantis Monarch is also incubating an ooth at the moment. He has the price and a waiting list on Facebook if you want to add your name, just search Mantis Monarch Shop. Best of luck!

@Hollisniccole A quick look at the usual sites for Orchid mantids here, here, and here - and all are currently sold out (but look at the price differences), I listed them though so you can keep checking. In the meantime you could try a classified ad for them as well.

Welcome, my wife is the same way at the moment.  I don't think there's a day that goes by where she doesn't ask about orchid mantids.
