I just buried Liyana in my garden. She has a nice resting place now.

Poor Liyana...

What species is Sheralynn? She is beautiful!

 

[Mantis Lady]

She is a Polyspilota Aeruginnosa. For sure this girl can fly with her long wings.

 

[MrGhostMantis]

She is beautiful! I’m hoping to try these guys soon. Any advice?

 

[Mantis Lady]

I bought her in the pet shop where i get my mantis food.

She get the same treatment like  h.menbranacea on room temperature. 21C

Nice pet

 

[Mantis Lady]

After a couple of days Sheralynn  turned brown. but she is still beautiful.

Here she is climbing my desk christmas tree.

 

[MrGhostMantis]

Awww! Cute little baby!

 

[Mantis Lady]

Sheralynn isn't a very big eater. I put a grasshopper with her yesterday and it still lives. I don't think she will be that fat like Nefertiti. Nefteritie sees movement and grabs prey fast. Sheralynn not. Her shape of her abdomen is very slender like a male but she is really a female

 

[MrGhostMantis]

Yeah, Sheralynn's species aren't bottomless pits like Nefertiti.

 

[Mantis Lady]

Nope, I think she will be able to fly for the rest of her life. For a female she has long wings covering her butt.. I have put another grasshopper with her so she can hunt it when she gets hungry.

Nefertiti is fat again. I hope she will give me another piece of mantis art.(ooth)she is my oldest mantis i ever had. I am proud of her. I hope she stays a bit longer with me

i am thinking should i get a pair of ghosts or a pair of creoboters. I want a new bird too. dilemmas

 

[MrGhostMantis]

How old is Nefertiti? Dilemmas dilemmas...  

 

[Mantis Lady]

I don't know excatly how old she is. But she gave me 2 ooths, so for me she is old. the bigger mantids were sadly enough eggbound and that eats a chunk out of their life spans
