Hi, I'm Marilyn, I'm so happy to have found a forum like this! I was actually looking for some tips of capturing fruit flies.. hah.

I very recently got a hold of 5(!) Chinese praying mantis oothecas to help control all the crazy bugs that have popped up in my garden. Unfortunately, one ootheca hatched in the mail and I was greeted by a sad sight indeed. However, two survived, and I've decided to keep them as my first mantis (or anything buggy for that matter) pets. I figured out I had some questions, so again I'm happy to be here!

See you all around. Here are the two nymphs I have so far. If you know what sex they are I'll love you.

Lol, yes, I think they're either male or female too! Oh, those green bugs are just aphids from our rose bushes, the very thing we're trying to have these guys help get rid of. Haha.
