Hey,

my names Levi Sherman.  I am interested in moths, butterflies, and phasmids.  I just recently started rearing praying mantises.

Hello Levi and welcome to the forum

What species of mantises do you have?

 

[levi sherman]

As of right now I only rear Tenodera sinensis,  Stagmomantis carolina  and  Iris oratoria

 

[KevinsWither]

Levi how are the iris oratoria doing for you? 

 

[levi sherman]

They haven't hatched yet.  Hopefully they will hatch next week.

Nice, locally found mantids (rather native or naturalized species) are great for many reasons on their own. I have yet to keep the Iris oratoria, but the other two I have much experience with and they have some great traits. The Tenodera is one of my favorites anymore due to their personalities, activity, easiness to tame, and ease of care.
