I have had her for about 3 weeks and she has laid 4 oothecas I want to make sure her species so I know if it would be okay to release them in the wild please help!

I purchased blue bottle fly spikes from josh's frogs and have been trying to hatch them for around a month now. I have had no luck. The closest I got was a fly half emerged that soon died later. I live in a very tropical, warm, humid place so I thought I would have no problem hatching them. Did I go to a bad vendor? Any tips on how to consistently hatch flies?

She also lost a leg during the molt but she is a juvenile so i read that they can regrow them later?

Is she alive? Do i abandon hope or try reviving her i gave her a little bit of honey and he twitches but shes very weak

was able to get a full timelapse of my mele, my female giant asian going into her adult molt

finally got my hands on my dream species about a month ago, she’s doing amazing so far

Got my little girl a year ago

i was watching over it on the bike path to make sure it didn't get run over and i was there for a while and eventually it crawled towards me. and then i realized it was following me? no matter what direction i went it started approaching me. even appeared to be staring me in the eye

why did it do that. was it trying to eat me or my shoe? would it have been fine to let it crawl on me. i was afraid of biting or not being able to get it off. or if it flew at me/got stuck in my hair

either way it was cute (a bit unnerving. ive never had a bug actively pursue me) and i miss it

Persephone is an L3/4 Pseudocreobotra Wahlbergii

I came to check on my mantis babies when I seen one of them got ahold of a bug, I think it must’ve gotten in the enclosure yesterday without me seeing- I was hanging out with them outside, but now I’m a little worried, will it be okay?? I’ve read some things about outside bugs
This bug was small and beetle like?

I am assuming she is a female, but I wanted to double check with the experts. Thank you in advance!

My beautiful Jet Pack passed away of old age today. Her birthday is November 1st. She unfortunately did not make it til then. She was a big, beautiful, sassy bug. She's the first mantis I raised from baby to adulthood. I've learned a lot and am grateful I was able to call her a friend. She will be very missed. Rest easy JP ❤️

First picture is from when I first found her and the second is from today while she was molting (which was successful)

So insanely cool to watch

I made this video a while ago and never thought to post it here, so here’s fae my i3 orchid mantis 🩷🥹

dm me if interested (US)

My first mantis is still going strong, always thankful to the people who helped me on this page when I was starting out with him 🖤 Mr Maserati has been a lovely dream, got me through the brutal wake up call of having my own house 🥹

Happy 3rd month of being a big boy Mr Mas!

My babies

Pretty sure I ID'ed her(?) correctly! I found this little one outside with an injured arm (she cannot open it, which inhibits her climbing and eating as far as I can see), not entirely sure how old she is or what the sex is. Should I hold onto her, at least temporarily, or keep her or is that wrong? Also if anyone can age/sex her lmk :)

So, im going to get my first mantis this week and I have decided that I am getting a ghost one. Could I also put king panda isopods in it? I have an 20x20x30 terrarium btw. Thanks!

If anybody can help me understand whats happening I would really appriciate it My ghost mantis (L3-L4??) Is worrying me a little bit.
Yesterday I took her out of her tank to feed her (she hasnt eaten in 2 days so I assumed she was hungry) and she didnt seem very interested in eating so i took her inside and let her drink water she got a big drink in and then wqs crawling around on my hands for about 15 Minutes. I look over at her sitting on my hand and her arms are no longer in the praying position like they normally are instead they are spread out, People told me this was her defence get away from me pose so i tried to get her to go back on the stick and get into her tank to leave her be. She was acting like her front arms are no longer working and shes acting super stiff eventually I got her on the Stick and gave her tank a good spray and figured she would just calm down. It has now been almost 24 Hours she hasnt moved at all other than slight barely noticable abdomen wiggle when I sprayed her tank this morning to get the humidity back up. Other than that shes not reacting to anything not me walking past the tank or looking at her like normal her antenne arnt wiggling like normal so I am very worried. Google isnt helping me much either So i thought I would see if any other mantis keepers have seen this before
