Cool video have you got any more of this species? The green variety adults are very pretty.

Nice photo.

Very cool I will have to try and do this sometime.

Springtails, make sure you get the right type. Either temperate for a colder temp enclosure or tropical if a warmer one. They will need a layer of charcoal in the substrate to proliferate and you can buy them online from lots of places.

In my experience both mantids and feeder insects can get stuck / caught in the cotton fibers. Best to use something they can't get caught in / on.

Very cool species, did you raise them from an ootheca?

Welcome mate

Welcome mate.

Welcome to the forum.

That is amazing and disgusting all at the same time.

Hey mate welcome, I am horrible with names. Only name I gave out is chompy for one of my mismolted adults. :D

Welcome to the forum, I'm sure you will there are also a bunch of other people from Germany here as well.

Bloody awesome colour variations I love it.

Their eyes go darker at night time, so it depends if it was dark or not when you noticed this. Are you sure it is still alive? Because a dead mantis also has black eyes.

Yeah ants are bad for the nymphs, I used aphids when I didn't want to deal with / was short on fruit flies. They worked great and they are completely free.

Welcome mate, you will make some good connections here I am sure.

Welcome back mate.

How exactly do you hand feed an L1 nymph? All of mine are way to small and skitish.

Nice read there Rick I may have to ask my zoology lecturer's about it next semester (they have stated that insects do not feel pain in previous years; however stating they can react to stimuli).

Gday mate are you going to keep any of the mantids or are you releasing them all?
