Still seeking US mantids and old ooths for the Bugfest event.

So far we have the following:

bark mantis

chinese mantis

texas unicorn mantis

brunners mantis

carolina mantis

Seeking other stagmomantis species, ground mantids, european mantis, etc. Also if you have any old ooths that have already hatched those would be nice as well. If you send those be sure to label what they are. I have quite a few but anything unusual (idolomantis) would be awesome. Asking for donations of these items but I will purchase them if need be. We only have a couple more weeks. Thanks!

We could really use the donations of the ooths. THe mantids would be great but I wonder how they would travel and if you wanted them back it would be even less of a chance they would make it. I will leave that up to you. The ooths though we could really use. If you could just make sure you label them. ;) Thanks much.
