So, I now have five of Sonamy and Novamaru's Nymph, knowing for a fact that four of them have molted. Fruit Flies have held them over for their first month, but those that molted look big enough to take down a (really) small cricket. Since I'll continue breeding them I'll definitely get other Hierodula Membranacea Mantises from Panterra Pets or something to shield their Gene Pool from proverbial pollution. But anyway, for a reason I refuse to bore anyone with I have a male name I kept in mind for this Mantis generation, which prevents me from naming any of them yet. From the next generation onward they'll all get unisex names, so I can name them right out of the Ootheca.

Oh yeah, something that I need to bring up, I know that this particular species is down with the company of people and other pets. So, unlike the Devil's Flower Mantis, will one of these Nymphs tolerate a car ride and a walk around a Mall or something? I remember a wild Mantis I had caught came with me and my friends to a Bowling Alley, among other places. Because I have a suitable bug jar for that.

Speaking of Star Angel, I kept him in that bug jar and fed him moths, but when I put the largest one in there he went into a threat display and then died the next morning. I've wondered what species he was, so here'Z a picture of him.
