My first Orchid Ooth hatched around 55 nymphs a few days ago. I had to go out and capture some ladybugs for a photo shoot after that.

Beautiful! Sharpest photo of a small mantis that I've seen yet!

Are you planning to sell any of the nymphs ? I can trade you some specimens too if you want.

I love, love, LOVE this picture! So cute, and very well done. The nymphs of this species are definitely just as gorgeous as the adults. I love the black and red combo!

Lol the mantis is like "theyre fooled hehehe front row seats" :blush: :devil: and the ladybugs are like "why the heck is this poser disturbing us?!?!"

Thanks. Yes, I will be selling some. I have a couple more ooths so far that were laid after this one. I think just 2 weeks apart between them all....don't remember for sure. Edit: Scratch that.....just went into the mantis room. I have 3 more ooths, not two.

Hmmmm....... Maybe I should have titled it, "Different Strokes For Different Folks".

THANK THE LORD YOU'RE SELLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The orchid reminds me of a shape shifting alien. :lol:

Very cool. I love the matching colors. The lady beetles look so huge next to the Orchid nymph.

Haha! Great pic!

Awesome pics, but please be careful. Ladybugs can and will eat mantis nymphs. Had one kill three Tenodera nymphs once.

Looks like they were a bit preoccupied to be worrying about such a thing.
