[Mantis Lady]

Thinking about changing her name, or leave it be??

 

[MrGhostMantis]

Leave it, it’s funny to have female pets with male names!

 

[Mantis Lady]

Sheralynn is laying an ooth again. Wondering how it looks like when she is done. i think she is my oldest mantis i ever had. She is getting black spots on her eyes, but she havent trouble grabbing her prey.

 

[MrGhostMantis]

Are her ooths fertilized?

 

[Mantis Lady]

No, I don't have a male of her species.

 

[MrGhostMantis]

Well, at least it means you can keep those ooths without the fear of a random hatch!

 

[Mantis Lady]

Esmeralda en Oscar molted a day after each other. I thought they would get their wings. but nope. They both have 1 molt to go for their wings. They had both good molts and has grown a a lot

 

[MrGhostMantis]

Great ! Can we see?

 

[Mantis Lady]

Don't have made pics of them yet. Will soon make pics of them hey have full bellies now.

Sheralynn started to lay her 4th ooth. I saw her looking met her butt for a spot to lay. Gave her an extra mist and she is laying now. She is  a real ooth laying machine

(Somehow my comp dont see the pics on my phone. I had 1 of Esmeralda and Clarissa ready to show, but need to find out how to make them visible on comp.)

 

[MrGhostMantis]

Ok, my giant asian just layed her first fertile ooth! Lol, we have all had that problem.

 

[Mantis Lady]

Clarissa molted to adulthood. She has inflated her wings and hangs to dry. She looks beautiful i hope i can show you her later

 

[MrGhostMantis]

Nice ! I can’t wait to see!

 

[Mantis Lady]

First a pic of sheralynn the walking stomach on 6 legs. I think this grasshopper will fill her well. It isnt too happy when Sheralynn started to eat his face.

She must wait longer for her wings.

 

[MrGhostMantis]

I bet she was hungry! Esmerelda is beautiful!

 

[Mantis Lady]

Sheralynn ate the whole grasshopper

Here a pic of Clarissa with her wings. She had a good molt

 

[MantisGirl13]

Clarissa is a beauty!
