Hello everyone! Most of you have probably seen me lurking around here and there, but allow me to formally introduce myself. My name is John, and I am currently an 18 year-old college student. I absolutely fell in love with mantids at around 12 years of age, but never got to do much with them. I remember getting really hooked in 8th grade when I saw some kids throwing pebbles at a peculiar little creature hanging off of a flag pole. No doubt, it was a praying mantis (tenedora a.). I took it in, and well, that's where it kind of began. Since then, I started off easy experimenting with more tenedora a's via ootheca purchased from local nurseries and such. Though Nor-Cal tends to be dry of mantids, I occasionally run into religiosas and tenedoras.
I apologize for being so quiet, but I wasn't sure if I would actually start breeding mantids and such, but I now feel that I'm ready! I currently have a small, but healthy collection of clinea humer. hierodula m. virescen (spelling?) and b. mendica. I've done business with Yen, Becca, and Kris - all of whom have proven to be quite masterful and flawless at what they do. I hope to make this hobby into a fun and involving activity. Thanks everyone,
John
