Then it needs to get over here.

 

[mantidsaresweet]

Yeah send some to the US!

 

[massaman]

to bad you need to be a real experienced breeder to even attempt to raise those Toxodera sp. and doubt anyone has even succeeded in raising a generation of them but would love to have them in culture but highly unlikely!

Big +1. I also really like your "unknown" mantid.

 

[Katnapper]

Great finds. Did you find males and females of some of the species, and are you going to try to breed them and get them into culture?

 

[C.way]

wow, nice one you found, love the dead leaf mantis and the unknown sp., those place are so near to my home town, yet I don't have the time to go there...sigh

It really does! The pronotum looks like that of the thistle mantis, too. It's a long swim from N. Africa, to Pahang, though! So what is the word, Tier?
