New to the Mantid Hobby--Want to Try it Out!

[MajorManny]

Hi, my name is Natalie. I'm 22 years old, working on my degree, and I live in North Carolina. I've loved bugs and mantids from a very young age (I had a bug-themed birthday party when I was eight--the only big birthday party I ever had). I want to try keeping a mantis because I think they're fascinating creatures and I think it'd be fun to learn more about them on a more personal level.

I'm hoping to start out with a ghost mantis, so I joined here in search of one, as well as having a resource to get help/tips when I'm caring for the little critter.

Hope you all have a great day!

Hello Natalie and welcome to the forum

Ghosts are great pets and look good too. Besides the forum classifieds you can also find them at about any of the mantid/insect stores as they are one of the most popular species. Here are some of the most recommended places for mantids BugsInCyberpace.com, MantisPets.com, MantisPlace.com.

Thank you, guys!

Also, Enigmatic Mantis---that little bug signature is the trolliest thing I've ever seen and I love it. I actually tried to brush it off my screen.
