Glad you found the little guy!

Phew, glad you found the little guy. You can loose little nymphs so fast.

So close yet so far. After a lot of noodling, they eventually connected for ten minutes, until she started rearing back like a dog with a surgical cone.

I'll have to give it another go this evening.







 Yay! It is progress.

I actually spend at least 30 minutes hunting down my Mega mantids when I let them roam around the house. Certainly not wise of me but they somehow reappear within that time and they enjoy the exercise. One time, one of my girls decided to hang upside down on my dining chair. That took about 2 hours until I asked my dog to sniff her out. Losing them is easy, finding them not so much.

That's pretty funny!

Rhombodera stalli nymph i3/4

 

[hysteresis]

Hierodula membranacea nymph (I can't remember which one of the pair! )

 

[hysteresis]

She may be illudens, but she's no bigger than my paradoxa greenie. Wings still need a bit of fluffing I guess.

 

[hysteresis]

P. illudens male.

Not the sharpest shots, but here.

Definitely illudens.  Female paradoxa have wider crowns.

she is beautiful

 

[hysteresis]

Basalis female, superworm in one rap, dubia in the other.

Boss! 

 

[Mantis Lady]

she is a bottomless pitt?

I like her colors

 

[hysteresis]

Lost a male orchid today, to natural causes ( if a month and a half as adult is normal).He fathered the little ones in the ooth. Let's hope it is indeed full of babies!

Also have my first paradoxa male, to go with my OG greenie. So that makes mature pairs of paradoxa, and illudens.

Not like it matters though, the way my breeding programs are going. B17ch spiny! 

Hope this is the magic weekend for the megas.

 

[MantisGirl13]

Sorry you lost a male orchid, but glad that he did his job! Ghosts are a lot easier to breed than spinys, I wouldn't worry. I'll be mating three females soon.

Im surprised in that my illudens are the same size as my ghosts.
