Drake - made it to L2. First time one of my mantises ever molted. Then preceded to die when I couldn't figure out what to feed a L2 nymph.
Selena II - died in L1 when I left her and Drake out in the backyard during a rainstorm and her cage filled up with water
Jones - escaped
Lotus - escaped
Jane - drowned
Akyla and Andrew were the two male L7 nymphs I discovered near Nansen. I remember nothing about Andrew other than that he was clearly released well before Nan and Akky's second mating. Akyla was my second successful molt mantis. The account of the one real story about Akyla is recorded in full on Nansen's gravestone. I put him and Nansen together, they mated, and then they did not separate. Eventually, Nansen apparently forgot that Akyla was there and started climbing up a filing cabinet. I ended up going to sleep whilst they were wandering the filing cabinet still fused together. I didn't see Akyla again for about a week, when he turned up on the wall by the stairs.
A couple days after that, I released him onto a mountain laurel tree in our backyard.
Titus is much like Andrew, only my brother found him as an adult.
Cleo Amanda, Mandy and Chloe were the three green Europeans we had alongside the more memorable pets of 2019. I remember almost nothing about them. They were all released back into the wild late in 2019. They were all found as adults and I was never particularly interested in any of them. Mandy was technically Lily's, not mine.
Taymin was a beautiful pale brown mantis. I found her near the propane tanks while weed whacking. I don't remember much about her, except that she was my most mantis-aggressive pet that year. She tried to kill Akyla and she snuck up on Akyla. The Akyla one I could understand, since she didn't seem to be a fan of his attempts to climb on top of her, but Nansen was just standing there, sick, a few inches away from her. Taymin never passed up a chance for a meal.
I eventually released Taymin (European) into the backyard out of guilt.
A young nymph in 2018. I don't remember anything else about her. She was Leafers' daughter.
