Congrats on the molts! Looks like your good luck in getting mating pairs prevailed with the Ghosts!!

 

[Mantis Lady]

Yup up. I am lucky with getting pairs.About  the hierodula goldens I still can't tell what gender they are. They are still too very small to see their segments clearly.  I hope they will molt soon, they will grow then. Hopefully I can give them a name. Beining nameless is boring.

Mantis 1 molted yesterday. It is a has grown a bit. I suspect the other to molt soon too.. The yellow color is not showing yet, the little guy is still green. but he had a good molt. I tried to take some pics of ghosty and Spooky.

Goldie 2 molted last night. they are both L5 now. but they are still small it is hard to see the segments, but i think it is female but not sure.

I wanted to name them Adam and Eva when they are a couple.

the last mantis that molted. It has funny anttenna.

This little goldie in picture above I found dead this afternoon......I think something went wrong during the molt... and somthing in abdomen went  wrong. RIP litle mantis

 

[hysteresis]

Aww that's awful, @Little Mantis.

Poor little guy, and poor you! 

 

[Mantis Lady]

I had yesterday the feeling something was not right with this little guy. It was moving his abdomen If something was irritating him. I wished he would have grown up and got his wings. But now I won't see it. it is sad. I will add his picture in photo book, so he will not be forgotten.

The other mantis is still doing fine. eating well.

 

[MantisGirl13]

I am so sorry you lost him!

[Mantis Lady]

Yeah, he was just L5

 

[Mantis Lady]

My new arrivals: a panther mantis L3 and a H.membranacea  male L5 (was surpise mantis) I don't know what gender the little panther is, so is called panther till he/her  gets a real name.

The H.membranacea is brown.. That is nice. I hope I can breed Aurene with him. I call him Tarzan.

 

[Synapze]

The panther is sooo cute! 

 

[MantisGirl13]

So cute! It is awesome that you got a freebie!

Today we celebrated my hubbies birthday and I showed my nephew my new mantis collection. He even handled Aurene (she is the biggest of the mantis family, not easy to loose)I like to talk about mantids. Even my mother in law wanted to handle Cleopatra, but Cleo prefferred to stay on my hand lol, I think she didn't recognize my mother in laws hand and preffered to stay with me.

The ghosts I showed in their cups. I was afraid  to loose them because we have a lot of brown furniture at home.
