Hysteresis' Mantis Stream - 2020

[hysteresis]

Like, here. RS05OOTH3. Not a bad yield for a 3rd ooth. Maybe not done dropping, but id say they are.

From the top:

From the bottom:

There were some up the sides too.

I transferred them all into a mesh cube for softer care. Ive put the cube mostly into a clear bag to retain humidity. Plate and wet dishcloth underneath.

The ooth is back in the hatching bin, and ill know if I get anymore.

Finally. My heart!

Blepharopsis mendica.

He ended up with a superb connection going on for hours. I removed him when they were done. 2 or 3 days, hes back in.

My 2 latest sp acquisitions, Thanks to @Tonypace2009!

9X Hierodula venosa, 4i/5i

9X Hierodula majuscula, 4i/5i

These are EXCEPTIONALLY aggressive IMO: https://www.dropbox.com/s/g3nudlbpp3fdt3n/20200325_015212.mp4?raw=1

The fly tries to get away but the mantis was starving so he didnt let go

I love LOVE this photo. For two reasons:

1. Caleb's expression. GAWD I love my boy!
   
2. I've never seen a display with blephs. She was already displaying before I even opened the bin.

She is cranky and that makes her beautiful

This sounds like a quote on a women's inspirational poster. ☺

 

[Mystymantis]

Impressive display she has there!

Thanks! She surprised us for sure.

She was showing off before I even took her out!

Let's hope her babies are feisty as well!

And finally, my one Parablepharis kuhlii asiatica. Looks to be female, so there's a hope down the road.

I hope to acquire a kuhlii male or two. Too bad my ooth was a dud.
