Received my Pseudeumpusa before 12 as promised, really healthy, thanks a lot. Looks like a great forum as well, sure this wont be my last post.

Recieved my order from ian all in good time and excellent condition. One of the Ooths has already hatched so now got hundreds of hungry new mouths to feed.

Very good service both times i have ordered from him.

p.s. this is the second time ive order Ooths from Ian, each time i have been given a second one for free. Thats good value for money if you ask me.

Recieved my package today (packed n padded to the max ) and I'm over the moon with my new Orchid.

Straight out the box shes going on missions round her tank and has actively hunted down 5 curly wings one after another. Amazing little beast and I'd definately do business again with Ian.

I'll add that this is my 2nd purchase from him and both times I was impressed.

:thumbsup:

Hi i would just like to say what a nice thing that Ian Batten did for me, not only did he send the ootheca i had sent for, but he sent me another one of the same free, together with some mantid nymphs.

Thank you Ian you have made my day. Thanks Chris.

I have received some Flower Mantids from Ian some time ago... Just wanted to say that he packs them really well, and when I have received them after 2 weeks in transit, they still had some food in the cups for them to eat !

Would not hesitate to deal with him again !

For anyone wanting to buy mantids or mantid supplies I highly recommend buying from ian batten at the insectstore. Ian, my giant asian praying mantis arrived safe and sounds and extremely alert this morning. Superfast delivery and the lil guy is gorgeous, will look forward to dealing with you in the future. :lol:
