Hi!

My name is Taylor! I'm 18 from Englewood, Colorado and have recently started breeding mantids, stick bugs, and isopods. I am a full time student paying for my hobby from the remainder of my SSI checks after basic neccesity! 

I have always had a great interest in insects from an extremely young age and even bred isopods and has my parents purchase me ootheca when I was in elementary school! 

So far, I have Australian stick insects, an assortment of isopods, dead leaf mantis, ghost mantis, and Spiny flower mantis! I'm so excited to join and become a member of the community.

Glad to hear it! I joined just a week ago and I already feel like I've been on here for years. Everyone on here is an amazing person and some of them are seriously good at this hobby. It makes me jealous!  :D
