Got in one of "those" packages yesterday!
Hmm ... What could be in this box?
Almost there ...
There they all are! 4.3 micro predators of the invertebrate type ...
And here is one of the males closer up.

What is it? Never seen a body shape like that before.

They are Ghost praying mantis. Some L2 and most are L3. Tiny little things!

Cool, almost looked like a scorpion. They sure look tiny. Any pics of their new home?

Not yet, I'll be taking more pictures of them in awhile.

Re: Got in one of "those" packages yesterday!
About half of our Ghost mantids have molted to L3 and the others are already to L4 in the last few days. I'm very pleased that one of the L4s is starting to turn green! Appears the other 2 will be brown.
Our previous one only made it to L4 and was going to be brown. She failed to molt and died though.

Re: Got in one of "those" packages yesterday!
I love mantis'
I've thought about keeping them, but I am so in transit lately it's not a good idea.
Let me know how hard they are to keep though- defiantly something I'd be interested in, in the future.

Holy beans! I had no idea they were so tiny! How do you even find them, never mind move them around without breaking them?

Re: Got in one of "those" packages yesterday!
One's eye becomes very good at spotting them quite quickly! And yeah, a lot of care and caution is needed when handling them but they are brave and fairly smart little critters.
They seem to realize that people are alive but no particular danger to them. They seem to like to watch people and want to climb us. They can be difficult to get back into the cage in fact, because they try to stay on the hand holding them.
They can move quickly when they need to but don't run from you and stay still enough that it's only a small worry over inadvertently crushing one while handling.
