- A Continued Statement from Moonlight Mantids -

In light of a selectively shared screenshot from our previous collaboration, from a private conversation, dated April 17th, 2025, we feel it is important to respond with clarity and professionalism.

We want to make it known that the website we built for our former collaborator—entirely from scratch—has been paid in full. Despite repeated false claims, we have been transparent and communicative throughout this process. On Monday, July 21st, we clearly stated three separate times that the website was fully settled, without question.
In addition, we repeatedly requested a detailed inventory from the collaborator outlining the mantids exchanged as they claim we have not returned all of their inventory — excluding the cost of the website, feeders we purchased to raise their mantids, and the significant labor hours we invested nurturing their insects from L2 to breeding age. Those requests were ignored.

This situation escalated to the point where they involved law enforcement. After law enforcement reviewed the evidence, we were advised to block the individuals across all platforms and, if necessary, change our contact information. We regret that others may have been pulled into this unfortunate narrative, and we are working swiftly to distance our business from this negativity.

We have 803 pages of complete communication records and are fully prepared to provide them to the appropriate authorities if needed. We remain committed to full transparency and integrity.

This is a tough but valuable reminder for all businesses: keep records, document everything, and always protect your work with clear contracts.

Thank you again to our amazing community for your continued trust and support. Here’s to moving forward with strength and clarity.

Wishing you all a peaceful and productive weekend,
�The Moonlight Mantids Team 💚

We want to take a moment to address a recent change in one of our best business collaborations that has now ended. A long-standing collaboration that provided us with many new species to the US and trusted us as their sole breeder has unfortunately come to an end due to creative differences. We are continuing to work with other collaborators to ensure that we can continue to bring you guys new mantids and have a new wave of captive-bred invertebrates within the US!

While we worked hard to maintain a positive and productive relationship—raising and caring for the mantises for months from nymph to adult, contributing countless hours, and always returning what was rightfully theirs—regrettably, we’ve been met with false accusations and public claims that do not reflect the reality of the situation.

We want to be clear: Moonlight Mantids operates with professionalism, transparency, and integrity. Our reputation means everything to us. We’re taking time to reflect on this experience, learn from it, and continue growing stronger as a business.

Thank you all for your continued support during our 2025 relaunch and beyond. We remain committed to our core values — premium captive bred mantids, honest relationships, and top-tier customer service.

With appreciation,
💚 The Moonlight Mantids Team, K&J💚
