New Mantids

[dtuck91]

Nice mantids! Though the t. sinensis looks like a griffin. Not saying it is, though

Haha thanks, hey you know what it kinda does!

Thanks and I definitely like the Tenodera sinensis so far, I got an ooth and they hatched, they're hyper and interactive, entertaining. L3s, currently. Can't wait to get the Phyllocrania paradoxa, should be getting them next week, L2s or L3s, a male and a female. Plan to breed them if they both live til adulthood.

Nice! yeah I want to breed Phyllocrania paradoxa in the future because it would be fun to have a little colony of communal mantises. How much Nymphs did you get from that ooth?

I still haven't gotten a camera, so I took some webcam pics of my ghost after the last molt (I mentioned it a couple posts up).

He is now a lighter shade of brown.

I could be wrong, but he looks suspiciously like a she. Hard to tell in the pictures though. he/she is really cute!

Ha, I love it when they clean their little feets like that. We call it Bruce's yoga time.

My ghost mantis is molting again!

Last molt was 25th of October, which is like two and a half weeks between molts.
