Hey, from Massachusetts

Hello all!

I'm Cassie. I've been catching and keeping European mantids every summer for a while and I've had so much fun with them I decided to try my luck with a more exotic species. Right now I've got four Phyllocrania paradoxa nymphs that I'm hoping to breed when they reach adulthood. I'm wicked happy to have found this site! I love and study all insects but in my experience mantids and roaches are the most fun to keep.

Anyway, it's lovely to meet you all!

Hello and welcome! I live in Boston, so let's keep that in mind when one of us has extra nymphs, needs a male to fertilize a she-mantis, or whatever. Those overnight shipping charges are a doozie!

Indeed! Sounds good. As of now I'm not too far from Boston at all, though I'll be heading out to Amherst soon for the fall semester. What do you keep? I currently just have the ghost nymphs so I may not be very helpful right now, but it could certainly be worth it to keep in touch.
