Here are the latest photos that i took this week...

Here are a couple of photos of them that I took yesterday. They molted on tuesday and changed to a completely different coloration. Pretty amazing.

Well, some bad news with the cryptic, my heater in my house stopped working one night and it got pretty chilly in there. I woke up to a dead mantis. I was however lucky enough to get a few orchid mantis which are amazing so I am changing the photos to them. The first group were taken before...

I am starting a blog that will document the growth a cryptic mantis(Sibylla Pretiosa) that I recently aquired. I will update with photographs as it grows. It is currently a nymph and smaller than a penny. I am feeding it fruitflies and pinhead crickets.
