    Thats what I love so much about certan phasmid species. You dont need to do anything and they will breed!
    Cant wait for the updates! =)

    I just hope they will hatch first! They were pretty cheap though so I could get more.

    One of the Asian flower mantids just shed. It's still tiny and there's barely a difference but its definitely a tiny bit bigger.

    Now 12 have shed! They are growing fast and I've only had them a few days. Here's a video of one of the flower mantids eating a fruit fly. Tell me what you guys think of the little guy.
