I traded with Jerri of BioQuip a few of my local mantis species for this guy with an ooth. Currently incubating the ooth under a controlled ceramic bulb and expecting a good few babies in a couple weeks.

Had some fun with lighting last night.

HEllo All,

Hey Alex, let me know once you get babies.

I love the Jeweled Flower Mantis or Indian Flower Mantis (Creobroter gemmatus) Is a species of praying mantis native to Asia.

Have fun with her.

Here they are:

The final count is 56. Their size is much smaller than the Limbatas so I have no clue how to feed them.

I will take any suggestions on how to feed. Going to try melanogaster now.

I am currently trying to mate her with a male I got from Jerri. Hopefully I will get another ooth when they finally mate.
