Populations really explode when an ooth hatches. I'm at around 80 or 90 mantids right now but with 5 ooths incubating that could hit 2-300 no problem
I don't even want that many that's why I'm sending all the ooth out, keeping 500+ Mantis in ur house is not fun and nothing to be proud off.... Crazy amount of work .

Yeah I dont want to get anywhere close to that either. I've got 3 ooths of new species I'm excited about hatching, but as soon as an aeruginosa ooth hatches I'll be sending them out too. Don't need so many.

:lol: They're everywhere

Im surprised one of the older ones didn't snatch up some L1's
I think some L2 or L3 took some L1 lol

one or two probably did. Even my odontos, where 3 hatched one day and the other 20 the next, one of the three grabbed one of the newly hatched ones. Just what happens.
Honestly I keep these Ooth seeing Fertile rate witch is 100% so far, don't really care if a L3 or L2 took some L1's not much difference to me .. too got way too many ...

Jan 11th Update Part 2 .....

So my Computer room was not able to hold all my collection i had to expend to the hall way haha... I keep the mating room out side of the female area so the males will mate easier ..So they don't smell the female all day long...

Yeah, wallies are my favorite ever. I'm hoping that the blepharopsis mendica will prove me wrong.

I just had my male wallie molt to L4, they really are gorgeous at all instars.

I Agreed with you will need to raise them to see who will be favorite . I have my first try with P.W and I'm loving them .. Hope soon I'll get to try B.M .

My first P.W. was awesome, that's why I needed to revisit this species. I just wish my B.M. ooth would hatch! P.M. me if interested for a few nymphs. ;)
