Lloyd & Arlene
Here are my pair of Phyllocrania Paradoxa, or Ghosties as commonly known. My plans with these are to grow them up, and breed them.
Lloyd (male)
Arlene (female)
The Beats Mantis ( Ravicus Musicatta )
Mating
On the 8th of June, I put in my male and female mantids together, however for a few days they didn't even seem interested. But on the 10th of June I saw a successful connection but then I realised that she had his head in her mandibles, and it was too late to save him. The following day 12th of June, She had laid a very nice and bog ootheca, now I approximate the ooth is due to hatch on the 10th of July. Depending on the amount of nymphs, I may be selling some, so keep checking back.
She also laid me a second ooth on the 19th of June which is due to hatch on the 17th of July.
