So I was just wondering whatis your current collection of mantids??

My current mantis collection consists of:

One phyllocrania paradoxa - ghost mantis sub-adult female

I know it is a pretty pathetic mantis collection but I'm just getting started :D

 
Also new to the hobby, I have one each of Popa spurca, Creobroter pictipennis, and Phyllocrania paradoxa. I have 3 more Popa nymphs on the way by mail, and 2 Purple boxer ooths should be shipping to me on monday hopefully.

 
1 Adult female Hierodula majuscula, 2 female nymphs; 2 unsexed Pseudocreobotra wahlbergii's, An adult pair of Parymenopus davisoni, and two female Ephestiatula pictipes.

With ooths, I have two Brunneria borealis, and thanks to me going out hunting, 7 possibly fertile T. sinensis ooths. I may be getting a religiosa ooth soon :)

Edit: Now have religiosa :)

Nothing worth mentioning. Been largely out of the game for a couple years now.

 
i've got an idolo, a mio, wahlbergii L1-3, too many majuscula L2-4, orchids L2/3, adult creo pict, hierodula bipapila hatchlings, ghosts, creo pict ooth and 2 stagmo cali ooths :D

 
My Collection is under my Signature ..too many to type ...
Not sure if you know but Peter(forum owner) has asked repeatedly that our signatures be 4 lines or less, yours is like 20 and looks like one of those flyer ads I get in the mail, I don't care personally but he's said this more than once its about page space, if everyone did that 3 posts would take up the whole page, maybe you could put them together sideways in a row?
