New.Additions:H. Majusculas

[OctoberRainne]

Decided to pick up some L4/L5 Majusculas since they are soo pretty,and I've lost all but my prego female asian Multispina at this point,but here are some of their first week shots,not sure the instar for certain cuz there was a moult or so in their arrival cups,so this may be L5 now

Both together on some but I don't reccomend this unless you really watch them and have pulled mantids apart before,they definitely don't live together,and asians love to eat. We had no incidents though usually don't when I try this,most tend to run away or play dead when they get near another mantis,but lol there are some that like to get a little angsty with their siblings out there. Shot on pink plastic zip ties...

More to come when I get through other folders and some stacks of the two of them together,plus my macro lens is still acting up severely

They grow so fast, but I lost like 50% before L2. I couldn't figure out why.

Mine were shipped to me during the heat wave, so that probably had a lot to do with it. I haven't lost any since then.

I like the use of the pink zip ties. It makes a great color combination with the black background. They are nice. I hope the best for you and your experience with them. I am waiting on an ooth to hatch of this species.

Yeah, they were alive when I got them, and started dying in the days afterward. I only had 6 though.
