I was at a stand where you could try eating some insects if you were "brave" enough. They had grasshoppers too, but they were already out of them. I told the woman I was talking to that i feed the same species of cricket to my mantids.
Those worms weren't bad, they were dry, crispy and no goo coming out of it.
Good we weren't born a mantis or we would have liked yummie worm goo?

What did she say when you told her that you fed crickets to your mantis? Was she surprised?- MantisGirl13

Neyteri reads the mantis forum too:
Creos are hard to take a nic picture of. But I like this one of Ashoka.

Last night Neyteri molted. I knew it was almost time because she didn't wanted to eat. I did't sleep much last night and I saw her drying up fase:
She is outgrown her cup. She needs a new home She did grow a lot last night. I was surprised to see her that big. It felt like she skipped an instar. I think she has 1 molt to go till adulthood if i see her wing buds.
Little girl is sub adult now.

Ashoka’s beautiful. Congratulations! Those are some nice photos, and I like the pattern on her wings. Glad to see her wings dried up just fine.
