[QUOTE="Christian, post: 244280, member: 62"] There is really too much nonsense in this thread, although the latest posts seem to better assess the problem. Air pressure is not an issue as long as you don't want to breed mantids from the stratosphere. The reason why these species are found in the Cameron "Highlands" in Malaysia is that in the lowland most rainforest is cut down or replaced by oil palms. The animals would stay down there if they could... The problems for rainforest species from higher altitudes can be related to stress, temperature (sometimes too high in the lowlands for specimens from a highland population, especially by night), humidy and ventilation. And, the specimens are usually caught for the dry insects trade by the natives, so there is no need to handle them properly. People should leave these creatures to the ones who know what they're doing. But of course everyone is born as an expert and thinks he can do it better. It's funny to see this type of thread popping up every once in a while. [/QUOTE]
