i revived 10 orhidmantis 2nd instar nymphs few months back.i kept them all in a 1ftx1ft net cage untill some of them where pre subadult..i separated them last week..2 died from 2nd - 3rd instar so i have 8.

3 females

5 males

looks like some of the males are going to shed to adult in the next week..2/3 females just shed to subadults today so hopefully it works out.i didnt separate them from the start and cool off the males so not sure if the timing is going to work out.iv started to cool off the males..better late then never i guees.lets hope timing works out

so i have 1 or 2 subadult males that im willing to give as a breeding loan as long as i get 1 fertile ooth ;) pm me if u need one we can talk.

heres female at presubadult
