What time of year to buy Violin ooths/nymphs

[Logan12197]

First post

I am looking to possibly get some violins and everywhere I look seems to be out. What time of year are the fertile ooths and/or nymphs going to be available?

Sorry if this is a noob question or is in the wrong forum section, I'm new to the mantis thing

Thanks in advance,

Logan

Out of Violins???when I am dead.....

So does that mean that there are violins in every stage of life every part of the year?

 

[psyconiko]

Yes at my place. :cowboy:But are you talking about Violins in the wild?

I think he's referring to the fact they are out of and stock everywhere right now and wondering if it's a seasonal shortage?

Nikkko has a ton of Violins, check out his pics and such, it's good stuff.

Seasonal factors only apply to wild mantids in your area. All mantids in culture are available during all months, it's just a question of details: who you know, who's breeding what, shipping methods, regulations applicable to your area, etc. etc.

If you're looking for a particular species, introduce yourself in the introductions forum and then keep an eye on the classifieds section. You can either watch and wait to see people offering Violins or you can be proactive and post your desires.

Violins can be purchased year round since they are captive bread.

Someone is always selling them on the classified thread.

I just got 4 nymphs a week ago from a forum member.
