    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Chinese Mantids are easy to care for and an impressive insect to show off! I have oothecae (mantis egg cases) for sale, they should hatch in 8 weeks or less, after which they feed voraciously on fruit flies. As they grow, they will need larger food such as mealworms, crickets, and roaches.

1 Ootheca - $5 each
5 or more - $3 each
10 or more - $2 each

Email me at [email protected] for more info and to make an order.

Why do you need to use someone else's picture (with their permission I hope)? If you are selling the egg cases, don't you have the adults ?
 
Lucille, people collect their egg cases. Those people do not breed them. They are an invasive and non native. Their all over the US. Google it. This person probably had a hard time finding an adult mantis in winter to photograph. People collect their eggs on cooler months. Not everybody is shady...
