I know what you mean. Have you kept mantids before?
I didn't before owning tarantula, so every time a mantis molted I was like, 'what, again!?' Because I was used to the molt cycles of tarantula

Yes i did way back, sounds like I`m old huh. Haha I have had Miomantis paykullii not the most exciting species to have
Hehe, yeah they are pretty fast with those molts. But unfortunately they dont live so long, that is the saddest part. So enjoy them while you have them, they are so much fascinating creatures for sure. <3

That's their only negative. Mantids don't live long. I know that's the hand that nature has dealt them but it just doesn't seem right for such magnificent creatures. It's saddening watching them coming to an end.

Yeah it does not seem fair at all, sometimes mother nature is way to cruel. Mantids are so cute and beautiful they deserve to live much longer than they do. <3

I love them!

Fantastic. As you've captured new borns I captured my adult.

Thanks friend. I really hope so too, one thing all of the mantids i have, have one thing in common. They eat like garbage trucks haha.
They are so cool.
