Starting off my thread with some pictures I took years ago when I caught and kept two mantises here in California! Unsure of the species (California mantis lol?).

Testing out uploading pics straight from my phone. Hope they aren't too huge!

My hierodula venosa decided they wanted two flies at once, lol.

So cute! I have seen my adults do the double fly thing with black solider flies, greedy little nommers. Betcha can't eat just one

 

[Mystymantis]

Aww they are all so absolutely cute!

Lots of photos! Gamera molted a few days ago, they are now I think an L4.
