suprize chinese mantis hatch

[xanthoman]

over the years i have probably hatched a couple dozen ooth but i have yet to catch one in the act. checked them out this afternoon and nothing, took a two hr nap and there they were. rough count about 125, was given a second ooth cause it got wet but im not giving up on it yet .

the auto macro doesnt work right through glass so i will get some better pics after i figure out my focus lock. some have already taken hydei

Where can i get some of these for a good price

DO YOU LET THE BABY MANTIDS GET BIGGER OR DO YOU FEED THEM RIGHT Away?

are you looking to get ooths or mantis, unless you had really tiny chams it would be pointless to feed them right away. each one is about as substantial as a mosquito, it will take about a month before they have any real substance to them. not to hijack my own thread, but do you raise betta.
