Do you pin your mantids after they die? If so can you teach me how?
I Don't pin them ... don't have a frame to do that ... I just tape them after they die when is still fresh u can still move the body parts with out braking ..it .. after i find a big frame i'll put all my dry up mantis collection i had in it,,,,

Just mated another pair Hierodula multispina ... I didn't even want to mate them i was going to feed the male to her ... then he jumped on starting mating ... This species kills me ... when i wanted to mate them they never mate ... when i want to give up on this species and cut down number of mantis then they mate ... WTH ....=.="
