Hello everybody. Today my uncle returned from Borneo. His passion are the butterflys so he brought about 3000 of them but it is not a point. He gave me a mantid which looks like Hierdodula Grandis (whole green with green eyes) but with her front pronotum is red . She is 7cm long and she layed an...

Same here, throwing mantis away is a waste, only feed them to other ones or put them in glass-case

Aprilfoolisus? :D

Beautifull pigeon on this picture, but I can't get a context :D

My odontomantis female have ADHD, I opened container for a 3 seconds and she flied away, while the male is 100% calm type :D

"This-is-mine!" xDDD pretty nice, I wonder what is it, boxer for 90% looks like Oxypilus with green wings, hm..

I couldn't find mantis on first photo ;p. They have good camouflage xDD. It's threating pose IMO

Paper towels everywhere :)

Well, I hold my acromantises in about 80-90% humidity, they always have lots of water drops in their containers.. and no problems with shedding... Problem lies in humidity.

That mantis runned away because he was immature so he couldn't mate with her, he was boxing to prevent him from being eaten. When a mantis is moving abdomen (like Pseudocreobotra ocellata for example) it's trying to move like a wind. In nature this probably helps them to camouflage.

Sure I do :lol: . I feeded them to the max to check for gender, looks like I have 5 females and one male, he will have lot to do :P

In nature this kind of behaviour makes them a little more calmer and stops conflicts and cannibalism a little. I saw my acromantis boxing but instead of using one forehand he was using both at the same time and direction :) Edit, boxing looks like this.

Well, Acromantises sometimes "box" but not as often as Oxypiluses for example, but they have other interesting behaviours like playing dead, extending forearms and sticking abdomen into pronotum.
