Hi,  I have some nice species available. Ooths shipping worldwide (not US sorry), alive animals only in EU :  Helvia cardinalis ooths.  pseudocreobrotra wahlbergii ooths  humbertiella sp yunnan sub pairs acromantis sp hainan adult pairs rhombodera sp indonesia L2 groups

Yes, I need to say that i'm a lucky man, my wife likes a lot our night walks. And she's so better to find the insects ! Hysteresis, mosquito is really annoying, sometimes after half an our we need to come back cause mosquitos are too aggressive !

My wife and i go often in the forest during the night. We see snakes, frogs, phasmids, spiders, and sometimes mantids,😁 For the adults , you need to know that each species or each genus has his own behaviour 😉

Hi, @Little MantisYes i've found it in France, but in French Guiana, so....between Brazil and Suriname. You can come here for vacation, but you will need a plane :) ! @AristalochiaYes, our field work helps a bit, but it still very difficult to find the species. And all species are not found...

Sometimes I have chance and I found nice species ;)

Hello ! Does anybody keeps their mantids in outside terrariums ? I live in a place where it's during all year 24 to 34 degrees celcius. So, all my mantids (that i found in the wild) are housed outdoor. But i don't know if somebody have tried it, and how he has... If somebody has ideas...

Thanks everybody ! I have to say that it's a really interesting period of my life, to live here... But you have to know, when you walk into the forest for like 4/5 hours, you see maybe one or two mantis, it's very difficult. But I go a lot into the forest, so now, i've found like 8 species....:)

Thanks for the Welcome. I try to put here some pictures of the Liturgusa sp. that i've found. They are really difficult to keep, i have had 2 deads on my 8 mantids since i've them. One thing was good, as you see on the pictures below...one small nice ooth. @River Dane, yes, we have Choeradodis...

Hello everybody, I introduce myself, i'm Nicolas, 31 years old, and used to live in Europe, in France. Since 4 months, and for a loooong time, i'm now in Sud-America, in French Guiana. I search mantids in the forest in order to breed them.  I actually breed Pseudoxyopsis sp., Liturgusa sp. ...

I have bought 1 Ooths Ephestiasula , and I have receive two ! And one has hatch :) . Really good breeder ! :lol:

Hello, This morning, 11 cute little L1 of Amantis nawaii are hatching for one of my ooths. They are now in a box with D. melanogaster , the little species of drosophilla ( the oranje, not the black). So my question...theses L1 are so little that I am not sure they can eat that drosophalla...
