that doesn't surprise me. its basically the same damn thing as a Carolina mantis, except less expensive and is more green colored
mantises are mantises.

i only have the one atm. i let out the rest, they were a pain to try to feed
the phone in my camera cant really get pics of them though. we had to get out an actual camera to get the shots in my OP.
he hasnt grown anyways, guess he has to molt first

got a new phone today, snapped some new pics
hes still the same size, but his torso is a little wider from eating. once he molts in 2-3 days, he should be about twice this size.

Moonshoe still hasn't molted. its got me a little worried, after 12 days. but it wouldn't be the first late molt i guess. after the first few days of feeding him wet catfood, hes been eating 2-3 gnats a day with plenty of water.
hopefully he will molt soon, or else moonshoes days are numbered

i let most of them out, there were about 200, kept about 40. mainly because it started raining, and they didnt want to leave yet
gonna let more out tomorrow, depending on how many are still there alive in the morning
eventually, there will only be one worthy of the terrarium.




Cool, I always thought mantises were cool.

well, from what i know from the internet, most mantises will stop eating and molt at around 7-14 days, and after that its likely that will stop eating and just not molt at all, starving themselves after a couple days
my main concern is that ive been smoking in the same room as him and may have fucked him up somehow
he hasnt actually stopped eating though, so, who knows

Nah, in a way, they're immortal. It's always the same thing passed down.

yeah. they think they are about to molt and stop eating, and then never end up molting and die.
they are even more vulnerable when theyre molting, cause they do it upside down and their bodies are basically goo while its happening. so if they fall, they end up deformed and generally die.
theyre delicate little things

We'll have him a shroomery funeral if he doesn't make it 
If he's still eating it just seems he's not ready to molt. You said yourself they need Chitin, catfood has no Chitin, and chitin would be what his shell or skin or whatever he molts is made out of. So he might just not have the nutrients required to create his new skin.
Idk shit about mantises though, just connecting dots. Keep us posted on the life and times of Mr. Shoe.

Their bodies make the chitin, they don't need to eat chitin.
