And the better news is, I will be getting a second male today xD, so not only is one female sinensis mated, but I can mate the second, and repeat

Last night after closing the restaurant I came home, ...something compelled me to breed the newest addition to LAME's crew. But before I introduced the new mate I wanted to check out the new females size. To compare against the mighty size of Echo...
... To my surprise, I've found myself a larger girl. She's just a tad bit larger than Echo had been ( I keep Echo in deep sleep...) so I guess Echo's no longer the largest I've possessed.
Heres some photos.
-Time marked.
2:36am (connection made.)
I woke up somewhere between 7:45-8:00am and they had already separated.... And both enjoyed the "free roam" time.
One of two orchids have molted, it appears female but I really haven't checked it. Since they're not mine.... I'll let the girlfriend try to figure who's who whilst I watch.

Me too, that's one of my most favorite features about the Tenodera sinensis, along with its size and power.....plus the added benefits of some of them are incredibly curious.

She is awesome! I love it that she is content to sit on your hand while being bred! They like going for walkies on my hat. I walk all around the property with them. Some of my others do also.

She's incredibly calm for a wildling.
I may release the male and exchange him for another and go again, but I haven't decided on that yet.

very nice, just paired again yesterday
Right?! Lol awesome! You're gonna have to show me a comparison photoI know, I was shocked myself... Perfect find for me. lol
Congrats on the huge girl! You keep going you'll have to find a small poodle sized mantid next How big is your new girl in size? You have me curious, I have several big Tenodera girls by me, but likely no contenders
Edit - I wanted to add none of my wild caught Tenodera's are near that calm, several of my Stagmomantis ones are though - so a big congrats on that as well. Looks like you have the Tenodera touch.

Its been awhile since I've been on here long enough to actually update anything on my crew. Constant work and homelife (...among other things.) has left me with absolutely zero time for much of anything.
But its been too long, so I wanted to drop an update on everything that's been going on with everyone.
Ivy (Female Griffin) - has laid 7 ooths, she's in really bad shape and literally falling apart, however she still shows much energy and willingness to live.
Orchids - All have passed. One achieved adult and died naturally. One moltfailed (molted through the night... I wasn't able to observe or help.) both were male. The female I found face down and died of an unkown cause... She was fine... Fed and hydrated, but found her lifeless.
Budwing - both males achieved adult.. But way WAY before the female... They both died before the female was ready and calling. Now she sits lonely...
Female double shield - I WAS calling her special, with how bad she was when I got her and seemed like she had issues fully extending her arms and claws (straining...) and I believed also being blind.... She also passed.
Heirodula sp. - still kick'n and still young. She's sitting currently at presub. I'll get photos of her and post tomorrow.
Ghosts - See updated Project: Community Inspiration thread sometime tomorrow.
(....Continuation in process, more updates and photos are coming.)
