Bought the mystery mantis box in August 22 (sorry the review is a bit late) for my 8 year old son. Honest g'vnor they were for him. 6 cracking little mantis arrived. Indian flower mantis, giant deadleaf, giant Asian, Ghost mantis, Budwing and Timor shield. All of them were little characters. Managed to get 3 to full adult (Indian flower, Ghost and giant deadleaf) much to the horror of my wife when my son/I would let them out to stretch their wings. 2 of them sadly died at sub adult (Timor shield and giant Asian) and the Budwing died at L4 or L5 due to a mismolt.
Would I order again? Hell yeah, it's my son's 10th birthday coming up and I've asked him if he would like some more mantis ;-) 😈 THEY ARE FOR HIM... don't give me that "yeah yeah" look. I need to figure out a better way to get the fruit flies into their enclosures though. It's like herding cats when you need to put a few in for them.
