Hello everyone,
I was at a Carnivorous Plant event at California Carnivores, someone had brought some orchid mantis to give to the owner. I thought they were so cool so I started talking to the person and I found that he had some extra L2/L3 he was selling. Fast forward 2 months and I am now the proud owner of 2 female and 3 male orchid mantis. These are my first ever, one male actually just had his last molt yesterday, exciting. The females have had two molts already. My hope is to eventually breed them, so I’m trying to speed up the females and slow down males but we’ll see how that goes.
