Pft, I lost it on that last photo. Somebody was clearly feeling left out.

Precarious, you inspire by your pictures. Keep it up!
Great job! love the purple in the SQ hehe
Thanks!

They're all different colors but there have been a lot of purple this generation.

The boxers are pretty funny. Here are a couple more of their antics...

I officallly need to get that species. All I can say is it is good to be queen. Now if she can only train them to take out the trash.

 
Do you keep them all in one tsnk
The Boxers? Sometimes. If I have more than a handful I'll put them all in a net cage together. I think that's when this pile up occurred. But even if I only have a few kept separate I'll put a couple males with a female and they both jump on.

 
gorgeous photos ! Purple are very funny sp .only but L 1 are so tiny ,it is hard for me to take care . btw, please expect ur package :shifty: they are about to go next weekend .

 
lol.. All I can think when I'm looking at that picture where she has one raptorial raised is "SAVVVEEE MEEEE IM DROWNING IN GUYS!"

So jealous.. I'm starring at my SQ nymphs hoping the awkwardness will make them grow faster! ha

 
Really jealous of your amazing collection and photos. Keep up the good work - I mean it, your photos inspire me! :)
Those are really amazing pictures. Especially the boxer mantids
What a gang bang you have there with the boxers! haha

Thanks everyone! I wish I still had the boxers but they only seem to last a few generations in culture. Maybe it's just me but the ooths stopped hatching.

Soon enough you'll have lots of colors. They're all generally pretty dark at L2 but L3-L4 is when the fun starts.
