Hello everyone! First time mantis owner here 
Currently own two Stagmomantis Carolina (Carolina Mantis) nymphs. Still a newb, so sex and instar is unknown. Bought both of them off eBay (advertised as L2-L4). They arrived on Wednesday and have yet to molt. When they become sub/full adults, I'll probably be able to sex them; too hard for a newbie like me to sex these tiny nymphs.
Here's some footage of one of my nymphs catching a mosquito I caught in my room. Mantids are good for pest control

Gonna purchase some macro lens pretty soon to get better footage and pictures. And sorry for the whispering in the video. I have roommates next door and this was recorded at like 3 AM.
