Good luck with your haania! Nice job with your other species you are keeping. I wish I had the variety that you do. I went from around 25 species down to 5.
5 are a lot easier to take care of.. LOL

Californica 1st generation mating. This is particularly great news for me These are the mantids from my first cali mating July 2013 lol. The ooth was laid August 2013. I incubated it until January 2014, then gave up and stuck it in the fridge. I decided to pull it out in June of 2014, thinking why not.... The ooth actually hatched a handful of babies around August of 2014. Go figure And both my females were a bit handicapped so I hand fed them. Hopefully she will lay an ooth now
Phyllocrania paradoxa now breeding.
