Hey everyone -- I'm a new one to this forum and forums in general! I've been fascinated with mantises all my life; however, I'm been out of th swing of rearing and raising them for quite some time.
That is, until I found what I believe to me an extremely small grass mantid on my bed about a month ago! After finding the little nymph, I've decided to get back into it once again. (It's over 20 years!)
Am raising a L3/L4 B. mendica and a tiny L1 (presumably) grass mantid. The grass mantid very delicate and unlike any nymph I've seen before. Very picky. Barely eats. Hasn't molted in the 4 weeks I've had it. I swear it seems to have a proboscis at this stage. Have mantises changed so much in 20 years? :wink:
Happy to be back!
