Chinese mantis oothecae (egg cases...spiders make sacs) are now becoming available at all the garden supply companies in the US. If you search Google for beneficial insects, mantises, pest control...keywords like that, you'll get some results. As for recommending a specific person to buy from, I will only direct you to our Breeder Feedback section and Classifieds sections here on the forum. If you see somebody offering something you want, be sure to look and see if they have a good record of feedback in the breeder feedback threads. Or, feel free to ask one of our admins for feedback on a particular member (using the private message/PM feature, please). We're all volunteers here (except me...I pay to work for Mantidforum), and we all enjoy helping out.

The male in the pic looks like the Caffra I have, I will take pic later and post it and you can compare it. Don't know if I spelled it right.

I believe that is a shadow u r seeing Paul, not a mark if u were looking at the other pic.

I hope to mate these this coming week and have them in the hobby, very sleek and busy mantis, at least the males are, bery busy and always eating.
