Some enclosures of the past. I've been in school for the last six years and haven't kept mantids full time so these pictures are just previous setups going back probably 13 years or so. We're in a transition period and once things are settled I'll get back into things.

This is circa 2005. I still use those mini aquariums which can be divided into thirds.

I was using the laundry basket as a place to hatch large ooths.

My favorite type of enclosure, the 32 oz insect cup with mesh lid. I stopped using the moss years ago.

An enclosure I made for a few I. diablolica. Unfortunately all of them died the night they arrived due to shipping issues but I still have it ready to go and will try again.
