Hello from FL

[MantisL]

Hello, I have been on the forum for a little while but haven’t posted anything so why not start now. I had an Orchid mantis who sadly died 2 months ago (?)and I am interested in getting back in the hobby after a little break from it. I love this hobby so much and hopefully soon I will get a new mantis and be more involved on the forum. Thanks

Hi @MantisL!

We too are very new here, and ALSO lost our little guy (Monday Oct 8th ?).

Hope you find a new little guy.

Welcome! Sorry to hear about your Orchid mantis. You've definitely found a place full of mantis lovers

 

[Mantis Lady]

Sorry you lost your orchid. I hope you find yourself a new mantis

Welcome back from a fellow Floridian! You'll find some great sellers/breeders here. Which species are you interested in raising? 

 

[MantisL]

@Synapze hello, the species that I’m interested right now in raising is a ghost mantis. I’ve heard those are cool and easy to care for.

 

[Graceface]

Ghosts are great! They are fun and full of personality.  I just had an ootheca hatch and am swimming in nymphs, if you are looking for some. PM me if you are interested. @MantisGirl13 also has a lot of Ghosts right now, I believe. 

You can also look in the breeder feedback to find some awesome people with awesome mantises available

 Hello Graceface , I don’t know how to take this thing off at the top, but do you have or know of someone with ghost ooths for sale, I have hatched ooths  before and I would like to hatch one with this species.

 

[Graceface]

Try Mantisgirl13. She had ooth available recently. I only have Ghost nymphs currently. You can also post in the for sale/wanted that you are looking for Ghost Ootheca 

 

[MantisL]

Ok thanks

I haven't had a chance to give ghosts a try yet ... running low on bug space. They certainly are cool looking. ?

 Welcome to the forum! 

Thank you, @Graceface for recommending me! 

@MantisL I PMed you about a ghost ooth, btw.
