My wife bought a new camera for an upcoming trip, but of course, I had other designs. I discreetly borrowed it for some "testing".

Traded OctRain some roaches for a budwing ootheca, and it did not disappoint.
Failed Carolina mating attempt. My boy came close but no cigar. At least he survived to try again another day.
First Creo of mine to molt to adult!

Believe me, anything from California would be out of place here. Just kidding
These were born and bred right here in AL...such a great and variable—at least in color—little species.
i'm gonna send u a cali ooth when one of the gals lays oneBelieve me, anything from California would be out of place here. Just kidding
maybe I will mate them both again so their empusas are extra ready to throw ooth material :lol:

If you do send an ooth, I promise to acclimate them to the customs down here. I'm the farthest thing from country, but I'll turn them into country mantids in no time. Lay off the empusa.

I might ship myself down there too for the moths :lol:
