Hi there, just tought I post the videos of my recent Deroplatys lobata hatch. It's the 3rd generation. Cheers Stefan ;)

Unfortunately, he also deceived me 3 years ago. We agreed to swap ooths, he got mine, I never got his. He stopped answering my emails and closed down his FB account. He is the worst scammer you can imagine. I am still so, so upset about his attitude. Cheers Stefan

To leave them alone one week only is no problem at all, especially if we are talking about older nymphs or adults. Just feed them up, put some castors inside and give them a good mist before you go. They will be fine if they are neglected only one week. Just don't switch off the heating...

Hi, today the first ooth hatched after an incubation period of around 9-10 weeks. Cheers Stefan ;)

This species is now identified as Acanthops erosula and is number 267 in the IGM list. Some more ooths have hatched: Cheers Stefan;)

Hi there, my first generation has hatched: Apparently it's Acanthops erosula Stål, 1877. Cheers Stefan

Hi there, I have some Phyllothelys werneri ooths for sale. Hatch rate is between 15 and 30 nymphs. Please note that I do not ship outside Europe. Price is £35 for one ooth. Cheers Stefan

Thanks guys, the incubation takes around 8-9 weeks and the hatch rate is around 20 +/- nymphs. This one hatched 22 nymphs and the highest hatch rate I had was 27. This species was compared to others relatively easy to breed. Cheers Stefan

It's called Blu-Tack ;)

Thanks guys. Alright, here are some more pictures: the hatch of the ooth I found in Peru adult female adult male adult female calling mating Cheers Stefan ;)

I found in the beginning of this year an ooth of this (most likely) Acanthops sp. in Peru and it hatched 24 nymphs, from which I have now 4 adult males and 6 adult females (and another 2 subadult ones). 5 females are mated and the first laid her first ooth last Saturday :clap: : Cheers...

Hi there, as the title says, if you find or have any ooths of Phyllovates sp. (e.g. Phyllovates chlorophaea) or Pseudovates sp. (e.g. Pseudovates arizonae) and are willing to send to Scotland, please get in touch with me. Many thanks Stefan

Hi there, as the title says, I'm after ooths of both species. I got the feeling they have completely disappeared here in Europe. So if someone in the US still keeps/breeds them and has some spare ooths from successful matings, please get in touch with me. Many thanks in advance Stefan

Hi there, since the first ooths have hatched and I got enough nymphs for my own breeding stock, I will sell the surplus ooths of the following species: Deroplatys desiccata Pseudempusa pinnapavonis All ooths were laid by multiple mated females (CB by me). - £30 per ooth or £55 for 2 ooths...

The legs do not look too bad. Maybe leave her in peace one or two days and then try handfeeding her. She might not be able to use her raptorial arms, so you have to kind of force her to eat. Try first to hold a dead prey animal in front of her mouth, if you are lucky she starts eating, if not...

Hi there, I wish I would have a better camera for taking a video of a hatch. Anyway, 72 nymphs emerged ;) Cheers Stefan

Lucky spot ;) A total hatch of 104 nymphs.
