MJ you are fast on track! congrate on the new website. Price is reasonable. If it was 4 yrs ago this would be a low price here in the USA. it must have been $15 for a PW second instar back then. Very nice pics on the website.

It's best to wait until third instar to sell them if you can. By that point most all of the weak have died off and you will be left with mantids that all have a good chance at making it to adult.

Yes to avoid dissappointment (to you and especially to the buyers), it is better to wait till the mantis moulted at least once before sending them out, especially during the cold winter.

Most likely unless you include a whole bunch of food for them as the trip overseas sometimes lasts more than a week, or they are seized by customs.
