Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

We were good at the Expo we vended this past weekend and only bought one thing, a very young female Ghost Praying mantis.
They had Orchid mantids there too, that I was super tempted by but we figured we'd just start out with a Ghost and see if we can keep her alive and thriving before jumping in headlong. Sounds like next year the vendor is going to have an amazing array of mantids to chose from, so we might really be in trouble!
Here are some macro shots of her, very hard to try and get any meaningful size perspective in these, but she could sit on my thumb nail and not reach the edges.
Awesome pickup, I've never seen mantids at an expo. Way cool insects, I've kept/raised a few domestic ones many years back. Started tiny hatchlings on fruit flies, they quickly outgrew those, released them when they got to a fair size.
I was looking at orchids online recently, but I need to finish sorting out the aquariums/fish and finish building new enclosures for the snakes before any new critters.
She molted for the first time with us awhile ago and has doubled in size. I took these pictures a few minutes ago, unfortunately they aren't quite as good as the ones my husband took just after we got her.
