Hi Actually, Orin, I think there was never ever nowhere a H. grandis in stock yet. At least all that have been investigated were H. membranacea. I think it's a myth that there was a H. grandis in stock somewhere ever. Well, they were first sold under this name in Germany and soon they were...

Hi In general: NO! Ok, sometimes within a few species. But then it's even the other way around: Within the species Gongylus gongylodes or Deroplatys lobata, for example, infertile ooth are much bigger than fertile ones in general. Does ooth size go along with amount of eggs/larvae contained...

Hi These are the Acanthops sp., not the Decimiana bolivari. regards

;)

Hi Sometimes they lay the ooth on the ground, sometimes they dig them a little if you use sand or soil as substrate on the ground. So check the bottom of your enclosure if the female suddenly is thin 'n tiny but you cannot find an ooth upstairs on the branches or twigs you may use as inventary...

Hi You start to make a fool of yourself now with your ignorace towards "the germans". Don't you like germans? brancsikia and me may not be good representatives of "the germans". Anyway, the "germans" cprrected the missidentification of the species we are talking about already more than a year...

Your are missinformed. You have a Sphodromantis there ;-)

Hi This species is Sphodromatis cf. aurea. Not Alalomantis. regards

AAhh, come on. You know you are welcome, honey. But be aware Í am a newcomer breeding this species, I don't like to give recommendations on keeping a species which I haven't kept for more than some generations. I hope soon my second generation will hatch. So be carefull with my information. But...

Hi Just for information: A L7 male is subadult, but a L7 female is presubadult. Best of luck to all of you. regards

Hi Yes, the typical problem: The last moults. I had 100% missmoults to adult in my first try with Idolomantis some years ago. The few specimens who not fell down and broke all legs had at least messed-up, curly wings. And I know not only Pohchunyee, Kruszakus or me had this enorm problems with...

Hi I found them on Java, but dead in the zoological museum in Bogor: http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/files/1ff4-7x-jpg.html http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/files/1ff4-7y-jpg.html regards

Hi My bee keeper/honey producer told me to keep them warm, at around 26°C. They have to be fed with honey or 50:50 water/sugar. Additionally, the need pure water. They will last only a few days. Without this treatment, they will live for one or two days only. Rick is 100% right when he is...

Ahh, Come on. You make me feel shy :-) Thanks, mate :-)

My question is: Why did they decide to become such a colorful species within evolution? Are they trying to look like poisoness wasps? Or aren't they such colorfull in their predator's eyes? is this coloration camoflage? Not for human eyes for sure! Are you going to answer this question in your...

Hi Thnky you all. I never got stung by a bee or wasp or anything like that, so I do not know if I am maybe reacting allergic to it. I am also not sure about the importance of bees as food for Idolomantis. Maybe they are not necessary, but I for myself will offer them. I know from experience...

Hi The title of the thread starts to make sence again. Here are some pictures of daily feeding :-) regards

Hi I have another two subadult Idolomantis diabolica IGM 25 males overplus. regards, Stefan

Hi Here is a dark male and a brighter female: regards, Stefa

Sorry, it took a while to see what i have left. I have left: Idolomantis L1 and L2 and Gongylus L1, that's it. regards, Stefan
