my rearing setup

[agent A]

hello! i figured I should start a thread for my rearing operation

here is my main mantis shelf, with the larger feeder flies on the top shelf

and my shelf with fruitflies and my young L1/2 Odontomantis micans

here are a few close-ups of the O. micans, doing quite well. only lost a few and had no molting issues so far

a warming bin for some of my females to get them a bit ahead of the males

my roach colonies

cricket bins

an L4 female Polyspilota aeruguinosa who wants to fight everyone

some close-ups of my Orthodera novaezealandiae mated female setups

and finally, the leps
