    Acontista sp.?

    Acontista sp.?

    Hi, I found this species of (I believe some sort of Acontista) mantis in Jacksonville FL, just last month in December.

    What mantis for Exo terra nano

    I have a larger one that I use for idolos. A smaller one would easily suit any of the medium species or even some of the larger ones. You could put some ghosts, Rhombos, or dead leafs in there. Best of luck.

    Orchid Mantis, HYMENOPUS CORONATUS

    What kind of light did you have to get the orchid pink? Mine are all white (not that I'm complaining, they're very pretty, just trying to see how to get them pink). Thanks :)

    Idolomantis ootheca

    Hello everyone! I've been reading various things about idolomantis ootheca care, most of it being mixed. I will have the temperature set to around 85F by day and around 65-70F at night. The main question I'm asking - what should the humidity be? I've read to keep it really humid and I've also...
