Yen sent several extras, and packed everything extremely well. I was quite impressed with both his thoroughness and generosity! In addition, he works very hard to answer any questions and provides sufficient information to ensure success. I recommend him highly! :D

Sent you an email.

Have a mature female H. coronatus which recently (1 month ago) molted to adult. Had a male, but he died yesterday. Would like to find an adult or sub-adult male for breeding purposes. Willing to pay cash, or can trade carnivorous plants (Nepenthes).

Rick, I'm not as anti-gun as you think. I own guns. We don't know one another at all, and my impression is that you are jumping to a lot of conclusions. It's easy to do, and I understand. However, all I'm trying to say is that we have a problem in this country, and that problem is costing...

No, I think you choose to interpret them in a particular way. You're entitled to your opinion, but if you really believe this, back it up. You can write anything you want, but it's your opinion, nothing more, and in that sense, I assert that it is your statement that is pretty meaningless...

Everyone is certainly entitled to his/her own beliefs. I can only add that opinions motivated by fear, while understandable, may be at odds with a more reasoned assessment. Consider: Guns kept in the home for self protection are 22 times more likely to kill a family member or friend than to...

First and foremost, Bryce, I'm sorry to hear of this situation and its impact on you. It is a sad fact that this sort of occurrence has become a fact of modern life in the US! Secondly, (and I must state that I'm not trying to anger anyone by saying this) it seems to me that the idea that...

Congrats, Becky! Well done!

Thanks for the tip! I grow a lot of carnivorous plants from Borneo, and keep the mantids in that environment most of the time, so if I tweak conditions just a bit, they should be pretty close.

I agree! In fact, this thought crossed my mind while I was taking the pictures. I measured the temperature and humidity, and found them to be 26 C and 45% RH. So, a little cooler and drier than optimal, perhaps. Next time, I'm going to raise them to about 30 C and 80%. Will let you know...

Thanks! That was my plan. No way to be sure what happened, and the mantids are definitely keeping it to themselves!

Decided to see if I could get the H. coronatus to mate today. Managed to get a few shots of the endeavor.... Some observations: 1. The male was very timid about approaching the female, until she was actively eating. Then, he made his move to mount her very rapidly. 2. After a few moments...
