Wanted: Dead mantids

[beginner entomologist]

I give a few educational talks every summer and I am looking for some dead mantids or old ooths that I can display for the kids to see. I have some live species but there is no way that I can keep many more. :lol: If you have any dead mantids that you would like to donate (I would cover shipping) or let go for a cheap price let me know.

I'm located in Buffalo NY. Thanks

What species do you want? I think you have most of the species I'm carrying, but I do have a dead female ghost, and some limbata. Hatched ooths for the same too.

I'm interested in all of them! How much would you want for them?

Free...Just the cost of Priority Mail + delivery confirmation. From CA to NY is now $5.55 + $0.70. PM me with your address and how you'd like to pay. If it's paypal the fee would be about + $0.60.

...And just to be clear, they're as-is dead and not nicely pinned or anything

Hey what do you guys do in general to preserve a dead mantis? Throw it in Alcohol? Freeze it? Just let it air dry?
