Yeah send some to the US!

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 · Nov 26, 2009

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 · Nov 26, 2009

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?

Well, I don't know the species. I know it is no Blepharopsis mendica mendica.
