The time this took was about 25 minutes. I shot it with a FULL HD SANYO Xacti VPC-FH1. If you want to get mantids of your own, I get them from independant breeders and enthusists around the US through http://mantidforum.net (be sure to read the forum rules before you start so you don't get ripped off). Lots of us trade on there. This is a great hobby since the mantids only live from 6 to 9 months so you can quit (or take a break) at any time.

Great documentary of the molting process, Adam! It looks like a few legs slipped, but that didn't prevent a success outcome.
