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 .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
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.

You got that RIGHT lol ........."The Canadian Ooth Factory" :clap:
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.: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:lol: They're everywhere

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 ...one or two probably did.

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 .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.
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.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 .
Thanks for the offer for the B.M but I have already made arrangement with a B.M breeder to work things out ..Soon I'll be testing out the fun of B.M very soon ... lol ..My first P.W. was awesome, that's why I needed to revisit this species.
