#first instar

Meet Scout. My first born Budwing Mantis, a Parasphendale agrionina. Pictured above is her when she was first born (i1). She just molted to i5 this morning. She will be mature with a set of wings at i9!

Here's her now! Just look at her! She looks like her mother. Mom just laid her 5th ooth.

MOLT! I keep these in a 16 oz deli cup. Must have collected over 200 molts now.

While Scout will be staying with me, 100+ of her siblings are looking for homes! 10$ for a nymph, i4-i6 sexed pairs 25$. Full sales list here.

Want to name a mantis? DM me your suggestions! Named mantises will be available to purchase when older (i2+).
