Proper Introduction

[Precious]

I'm Christine, my first mantid was precious - a sinensis, thus my name.  I have been away for 8 years but am stocked up and back in action!  So excited to be here!  I'm currently keeping: 14 hierodula membranacea L-3 and I'm incubating sinensis oothecae.  I'm a Dental Hygienist from VA but I work in a volunteer capacity only.  Three grown kids and a yorkie!  New phase of life and time for my favorite hobby.  I look forward to buying, selling, trading, chatting and seeing all my bug friends again!  Cheers!
