[QUOTE="Velve, post: 308901, member: 10122"] R. basalis has the biggest shield. R. megaera doesn't really have a wider shield, the species resembles H. membranacea a lot. I haven't kept R. extensicollis, but from pictures it seems the shield is a bit widened, albeit smaller than R. basalis. Husbandry wise they are the same. They are sturdy mantids, just like Hierodula and Sphodromantis species. All three species should be pretty commonly available. From L4 on the breeder should be able to easily tell. Correct. The care is identical to Hierodula membranacea. I'd use a small heat lamp to have like 72-76 degrees during the day. Yes to both. Should be fine with proper packaging and heat pack, but it'd be best to directly ask the seller when the time comes. The three species should be commonly available all year long. Hope this helps! Here's also a pic of my R. megaera pair. [ATTACH]9786._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
