    Idolomantis - almost adult

    Thanks all. I dont know the name of these plants, but I am sure its no "Dill". I will make some pictures for you soon. I found these plants outside and thought they are good looking for huge Empusidae. Seems to be correct so far. But I am not a pro with this species, as I bought all larvae...

    Alalomantis muta IGM 132

    Hi No, they are much smaller than Hierodula membranacea. As you can see in the picture with the mating pair, both sexes reach same sizes, both about 6 or 6.5 cm in total lenght. I do not care how to call them, sometimes I use the term instars, sometimes nymphs, and sometimes larvae. But, in...

    Idolomantis - almost adult

    Hi Thanks, Katnapper. Here are the first adults, one male and two females, all moulted adult within the last 4 days. And, to my surprise, all became perfect adults. Another, third, female moulted adult this night, but was decaputated by the smallest larvae in the enclosure, a presubadult...

    Ghost nymphs

    They eat them two days after hatching. Why you all give answers if you have no idea? P. paradoxa does not need special small food as hatchlings, they do fine with all kind of Drosophila, even with the biggest. Since 30 years. And now you decide they start to eat them with L2-L3? regards

    Alalomantis muta IGM 132

    Hello Finally the first larvae are adult. I think "brancsikia" did not post a picture of an adult of the last generation here in the forum, so I now proudly present the first. The male has nice yellow wings, while the female is standard green. Thanks to all for their interest and...

    Kruszakus - (Poland)

    Hi Yes, he rules. Kruszakus helped me in an very important case. I have some overpuls femlales Idolomantis, but only a few males. So he sent my some more males. It is dangerous to ship subadult Idolomantis, as no other species brakes their legs as easy in wrong boxes. And the bigger the...

    Possible diapause emulation?

    All in all, Phil, this is dangerous half knowledge. You are wrong or at least not precise in most what you say. Anyway, nice try.

    Empusa pennata

    Who says so? And of course a cold period like 8°C for some weeks has an effect on every ooth. The effect is nothing will hatch as most species are tropical. This sounds unlogical. regards edit: Or do you mean that if you not reduce the photoperiod, you can keep the ooth at 8°C and it will...

    Harpagomantis Tricolor

    Every week you post ten pictures you do not have any right of. Its time to learn you are doing illigal things, the photographers could say you are a scammer. Start to think about this finally!

    Ooths from Tanzania

    Ahh, I see. You had good results so you tried it again. Ok, why not. You are right. But Ian, 7 ooth hatched out and you need to import new ooth? I cannot understand that! Did you just sell all without trying to breed them? Or did all these hundreds of larvae died? I could understand that, as...
