Hello-
I have had on ongoing interest in Mantids for the past 20 years or so,
but for the most part it was limited to species caught in the wild. I live
in Fort Worth, Texas, and some species are pretty abundant, like Grass
Mantises and Brunner's Mantises.....plus a few other species. I have only
kept 2 exotics previously, one Giant Mantis and another African.
So, I have now taken the plunge headlong into exotics. I bought 7 Ghost
and 9 Orchid nymphs from Yen Saw, all in L2 or L3 stages. They are all
thriving and doing well. I look forward to keeping more species, like Wandering Violin, Deadleaf, and the Green Leaf. Hope to exchange info/
ideas with all you fellows Mantidphiles (correct terminology?) out there.
Best to you all
Ron
