Mantids! Awsome!

[Leland]

Here is one of the species i'm working with. These things are awsome! The most voracious things i've ever worked with!

Very nice Leland. What species is this? We have had mantid egg cases on our Christmas trees in the past, and the most amazing thing I have seen are the newly hatched mantids literally spilling out by the dozens.

Have you bred these?

That one is awesome. I love Mantids, but I can not bring them into arizona. I really would love to get some of the more exotic species. Great shots!

I'm curious, is there much of a resale market for stuff like this? I know that a lot of people dig spiders and scorpions and such. But do Mantids have a resale market? I'd love to work with some stuff like this but don't know what I'd do with all the babies.
