Beautiful collection! Thanks for sharing your photos. I have a female Nigerian flower but she is only in her fifth, shortly to be sixth, instar. If I'm correct it will be awhile before she is ready to mate.

 
Thank you!

Yes, you are correct. I dont know if he will still be around. But thank you! ;)

Awesome, great to see someone doing so well with so many species here in the US.

How are those ground mantids doing? ;)

 
Very nice pics! So, was your boxer mantis

Thank you!Yes, you are correct. I dont know if he will still be around. But thank you! ;)
I have a subadult female C.Modesta. She is pretty tiny though. Molted yesterday. Are they supposed to be so small? Maybe 2 cm. stretched out? (Minus the claws) Do you think your male will still be there? I have another one, not sure if it's male or female though. Has wingbuds as well.

Thank you!

Yes, They are very tiny. On the last molt they get twice the size. The male has been adult for a month now, He still looks strong through.
