I received a package from Silkids containing a dozen nymphs and about the same number of ooths. The nymphs were in individual pots, the box was insulated and had two cold packs seperated from the nymphs by a piece of cardboard, the pots were packed in "plastic wool". A few nymphs had molted safely in transit. This is the best package of mantids that I have ever recieved. I suspect that it is "over the top" for someone who sends the occasional few nymph to friends, but for someone who sends a lot of stuff and depends on lve delivery, this is the way to go. I shall be ordering similar insulation from Rebecca in the hear future. Thanks, Silkids!
