Heterochaeta - gentle giant :)

Kruszakus · Jun 28, 2010

Here's some pics of one of my Heterochaeta females

Adults reach up to almost 6 inches

Now I get what is wrong... I don't see the entire "intert image" bar - "http://" is there by default...

That stinks, :angry: I wanted to see them! Oh, there they are. Nice mantids!

The url to the images seem wrong.

sbugir · Jun 28, 2010

Two http:/, theres your problem... Nice pics.

Very cool! like the popa... but super sized!

LauraMG · Jun 28, 2010

Great pictures! They are very similar to an "unidentified bug" picture a friend sent me the other day.

hibiscusmile · Jun 28, 2010

those are nice looking, I especially like the back end with the wings!

Rick · Jun 28, 2010

Those are pretty cool.

Nice pix, nice mantis. I had that trouble with trying to use HTP// twice until Suprerfreak straightened me out.

Kruszakus · Jun 30, 2010

The funny thing is, I used to keep them at 25C, and they seemed to like the colder conditions. I moved their enclosures to my glasshouse, where it's like 40-45C, and they still did fine - the only difference was, they started growing rapidly. I guess they need some really high temps to get going.

Superfreak, hmmm !

Kruszakus · Jul 9, 2010

Some new pics...

The pictures don't give credit to this threat display - it's really cool to see it live

lancaster1313 · Jul 9, 2010

That is beautiful, and huge!

LauraMG · Jul 9, 2010

My boyfriend said "That is terrifying!" but I think they're beautiful and I love the threat pose!

Ghostie · Jul 10, 2010

Wow that's an interesting one too!

Very nice pics and Mantis.

Mantis get more and more interesting with each picture I see.

Chasebrestle@yahoo.com · Jul 10, 2010

Very cool, how many pairs do you have?

Kruszakus · Jul 10, 2010

I've got like 10 pairs or something - one female died recently, for no apparent reason...

You really should see this treat pose live - those colors are just stunning

I would love to see it live! But I'm not properly equipped to handle such a large crawly pet right now
