A little while ago, I ordered some Mesopteryx alata from Yen, you may have seen the add on the for sale section. Communication was absolutely perfect, very timely with answers to my questions. They shipped last monday, and Yen provided me with a tracking number right away, they arrived today. The MOST pleasant surprise was how INCREDIBLY well packaged these nymphs were. The deli cup had paper towel padding on the inside, wrapped and taped in a generous amount of bubble wrap, which was then encased in a cotton cocoon. 8 days those mantids spent in transit, and not even a SINGLE death. not one. Texas to Canada not one death. I'm amazed. They even molted on the way here, all the little exuviae in the bottom of the cup, and were just fine. Absolutely incredible. Even the extras he packed to help guarantee the 10 I ordered survived made it. I received 13 alive little mesopteryx. And they are VERY lively. Was difficult to recatch them all lol. I HIGHLY recommend Yen, especially for long distance shipping orders.
