Cant wait till that female lays an ooth. Do you think you will sell the babies? Or even an ooth? I have been waiting for about 6 months for someone to mate these.
Congratulations! Mine haven't molted to adults yet!!

Yen: These mantids are doing what they know how to do and we just have to allow them a way to do it. Good luck with the project. Nice pics!

YES!!!
I'm sure you will find homes for every one of the nymphs.
Mine are still sub so the anticipation is killing me. I'll soon post extreme macro shots that will hopefully help determine their sexes.

I think that's the best looking ooth I've ever seen.
I agree, Yen definitely finds and/or has the coolest bugs. Want.

Nice! That second shot is wild, the eyes seem to pop and starkly contrast with the body. I'm guessing that's a male, hopefully you get an adult female and are able to get an ooth soon, too. Would love to see more of these offered in the U.S.
Precarious, congratulations!
How long is it now that it's an adult? Male or female? This must be one of the most difficult species to sex and one that takes a really long time for the final molt!

Oooo congrats!!! It is not easy telling the gender even as adult. All the best!

I need your expert opinion...
I took these about a week ago. I would guess they are a pair. What do you think?
Nice pic!
A - male, B - female. A pair!
