Shipping mantises to Thailand?

[TheBeesKnees]

So, more than anything, I really want a pair of Ghosts... But I live in Thailand, and there is literally no trade here for mantises.
I mean, I'm pretty spoiled with the number of local species I can get here, but of course I gotta want what I can't have, sigh!

I guess, what I'm wondering is--would it be responsible at all to ship live nymphs to Thailand? Is there anyone confident enough in their packaging abilities to do this? How much risk would there be in my receiving dead nymphs?
I'd probably either buy from folks living in the southern states, or wait until summer--since it must be pretty difficult to accommodate the severe temperature shift between the two countries in the current season...

I just wanna know what my options are for attaining of some lovely ghosts! Would it be better to purchase an ooth..? Has anyone ever shipped bugs across the globe before?? Am I doomed to a ghostless life???So many questions...

I can't help you out at all... I have no ghosts to ship, & I have never shipped. But I do understand wanting, what you do not have.. LOL

Do you know of anyone coming to Thailand? or traveling out, for a trip?.. maybe they could bring you some?.. The holiday season is coming... there is a lot of traveling happening? Or if you can send me a 2 way ticket (week to 10 days) ... I will bring you some for free! I would also have to stay with you...hehe

Just an idea... Just putting it out there...

So I guess my tickets are not coming in the mail?

Did you find any ghosts?
