Wait for another week or two, it took my male about 2-3 weeks before he 'grew his balls' if you see what I mean...... and yeah you dont want to leave them together.....

A friend of I showed me these photos posted by a member in a local forum. Apparently this species is quite common in Hong Kong. Could anyone ID this please? Thanks. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j224/sea.../Newmantis1.jpg http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j224/sea...ntis/M4copy.jpg...

Interesting insect between phasmid and mantis http://www.museums.org.za/bio/insects/mant...todea/index.htm

If you are dealing with people within the UK you can always do bank transfer through internet banking. It usually wont take longer than 2-3 days. Apparently you can also do international bank transfer with this http://www.ecbs.org/iban.htm Not sure how it works though as I have never used it...

http://www.mantisonline.de/english/index.html Go to oothecas and there is a lot of photos.

These are really good pictures! How long have you been in Cameroon? Did you see all these in one trip? How common are they? The 'creo' looks more like a Theopropus Elegans to me though.

I think either the pseudocreobotra (spiny flower) is over-rated or the creobroter(indian/thai flower) is under-rated. While both look similar, the creobroter is a lot more fun to watch than pseudocreobotra, but the pseudocreobotra is a lot more popular because they got those spikes. I also feel...

Does look like a female to me. I only got a female p. spurca at the moment, but here is how it should looks. Sexing for all mantis are the same From the bottom, you should be able to count 6 segments (male 8 ) The above picture shows that there the last segment of the abdomen is big and has...

Thanks. A very nice mantis you got there!

I had the same problem as well. You can try stop feeding them and give them water only until they stop throwing up. This usually works, but if they really got a health problem, then the throwing up will recur and eventually, they get too weak and die. But dont give up, try stop feeding them and...

I dont know if he ships to UK, but you could try http://www.blaberus.com/ There is also someone selling discoids at livefood.co.uk (Dead head Roaches) http://www.livefoodshop.co.uk/classified/p...esc.php?id=5570 Good luck!

A rather silly question, but do you actually feed the nymphs or you just wait for them eat each other?

Why not get a colony of Dubia or Discoids? I heard that they grow to about 2 inches and makes good feeders. It might take a few months to get the colony up, but once the colony is up, you wont have to spend a penny getting any more feeder insects.

I might as well post some pics of my mantises: :D H. Coronatus P. Wahlbergii Polyspilota aeruginosa Creobroter Elongata P. Spurca

I actually had similar problems with some of my adult female Polyspilota aeruginosa. I have never mated them and they never laid any ooth for a long time, and then they just grew fatter and fatter and died. So I suspect that it might be some sort of egg binding problem.

6-7cm head to tail

Does mantis fall into this category? Oh this cricket is so noxious I am going to destroy it now..... I just find it ridiculous that you can even send bees and leeches but not mantis. A bee is a lot more likely to suffer and die in post than a mantis.

Probably more to do with greek or latin than to single or plural? http://www.bartleby.com/61/1/M0090100.html http://www.bartleby.com/61/4/M0090400.html

Not really, the ones from canada are also 'ill' lol, but tbh, its more likely to be the crix that I got here locally. They are so healthy that at one point, a good half of which wont survive til day 2. I really should be glad that I still got any stock left. I guess I will have to breed my own...
