Love the orchids. I'm raising quite a variety of mantids, including the orchids. Good luck with them.

Those look really good - I got 4 baby Chinese Mantids last week. They are only for Cham food though (they are great fun, I might keep one )

Very cool! I get my 4 ootheca's from pssh later this week. Most of it will be food, but I am going to keep a bunch. :3 For pets and for breeding. Thanks for sharing! Got any tips?

Very cool, sort of reminds me though of snake keeper who has pet rats

my son loves mantids! he's got 12 different species. he cleared out 1/4 of his room and dedicated it to raising and breeding, he's getting pretty good! we've even been subletting a section of our booth to him so he can sell nymphs. not bad for a 10 y/o! we just found him a pair of thistles and a pair of orchids in pomona, we're always looking for ooths if anyone hase any to sell/trade!
