Mantis Noob

Hey everyone!

 My name is Mike and I am new to the Mantis World!

 I am from NY (USA) but i currently live in Florida.

At the moment I have 3 mantis! Two Madagascan marbled, and one Giant African.

The two Madagascan mantis are L4-L5 & the African is L2.

I am enjoying the hobby so much, and cannot wait to breed my own mantis very very soon.

I am also excited to be part of the community and discussions.

 See ya around!

Hello Mike and welcome to the forum and hobby

In case you need some information here are the care sheets for your mantises; although, without the scientific names it is hard to be sure as many species have been called "Giant African mantis" so I have given the most common. Here is the African mantis (Sphodromantis sp.) caresheet, and another caresheet - lastly the Madagascan Marbled mantis (Polyspilota aeruginosa) caresheet. The Polyspilota aeruginosa is not a common species in the US, so care sheets are few; however, the one I gave the link to appears to be a very complete one, just the author has it on their site as a DOCX file (Microsoft Office/Wordpad file).
