[MANTi]

Mine still haven't molted. At what temperature are you keeping them?

 

[MANTi]

really? hm.. i keep it around 75F-80F & mist twice a day.

do you know the sex of your nymph or nymphs?

I'm not entirely sure, but I think I have 1 female and 2 males. It's difficult to tell when they're so small though(I know how to do it, just not 100% certain with my findings).

i know what you mean.. i'm having trouble myself.. i think i have two females though.

if you do have two males, would you be willing to sell me one?

hi manti ,may i show ur pic of orchid mantis to the people in china ? i think they r so beautiful ! of course i will tell them where the pic come from

 

[Bug Trader]

Being you both likely have atleast one female I would work on finding a couple new nymphs in a month or so unrelated to yours, then you dont need to stress about slowing a male, or inbreeding them.

 

[Mime454]

One if mine molted last night. Hopefully the others follow soon.

I finally viewed these images on my mac, and the pink started flickering, then this bar showed up on my screen. I think I have to sue you. But thank goodness for extended warrantees!
