The Mantis Family 2020

[Mantis Lady]

Esmeralda has her wings now. but she can't close them. She wears them like a cape. Clarissa laid her 3rd ooth. Sheralynn is slowly fading away..

 

[MantisMart]

Thanks for the update! Congrats on the molt and ooth.

 

[Mantis Lady]

Thanks

Sheralynn died. Thinking what to do with her body. just bury it or pin it. Somehow she was special.

 

[MrGhostMantis]

How long did she live with you?

 

[Mantis Lady]

Think she was ayear with me.  Bought her last year in augustus. She was L5 I think when I bought her. She was a calm, curious mantis and an eating machine. She went afer her prey when she saw it..

 

[Mantis Lady]

Here a pic of Esmeralda with her wings: She is still beautiful even wit her bit messed up wings

Thinking about to buy a new mantis, but will do it after my vacation. just 2 mantids left

 

[Mantis Lady]

Clarissa is laying an ooth. I forgot to remove the old one, so this new ooth will be conected with her old ooth Pics Ishow later.

 

[Mantid Z.]

Pretty Convenient if you ask me.

 

[Mantis Lady]

Got the 2 ooths easely sepparated, somehow they weren't stuck together Fake plant is ready for a new ooth. I think Clarissa will lay it there again.

 

[Mantis Lady]

I was on vacation and Clarissa laid in last week an ooth, not a big one. The mantis sitter took good care of them

Clarissa giving the cricket  a kiss of death

 

[Mantis Lady]

Clarissa laid an ooth again last night and she was starving this morning because she grabbed her cricket very fast  and Esmeralda did the same. If they never got something to eat. it is a small ooth this time. Should I feed her everyday or leave 1x per 2 days

 

[MrGhostMantis]

Whenever she is thin feed her. She’s laying a lot of ooths!!

 

[Mantis Lady]

Too bad i dont have a male to mate with her. Clarissa is indeed laying  ooths like crazy

I  have only luck with my hissers

 

[MrGhostMantis]

I’m getting a male for my gal tomorrow

 

[Mantis Lady]

nice

 

[MrGhostMantis]

I can’t wait for the male today, she’s due to lay another ooth soon so if I can breed her before that it will be baby time

 

[Mantis Lady]

I hope you will have luck with breeding Clarissa is full now. She didn't finish her dinner. She will lay an infertile ooth soon

 

[MrGhostMantis]

 

[Mantis Lady]

Hope he will not loose his head. A green ghost is still beautiful.
