    Issues with gongy falling?

    Hi Well, they can moult very good on the screen top in general. But I think it is not good if they have only this all the time. If they have good twigs where they can hang on from time to time, maybe they will do the moultings on the screen top anyway. But I guess it is not good if they have...

    Issues with gongy falling?

    If you not want me to make assumptions, next time directly give more basic info, like you did now.- If it is not the final moult, things are exactly the same, but worse. Normally the biggest loss is within the final moult. If you have already such problems now, it is worse. I was thinking...

    Issues with gongy falling?

    Hi I just mentioned the flies, Rick, because I a) know you like crickets and you seem to have fine, well working crickets, b ) I know some of you give crickets to empusids and do not realize the fault (see posts of members above) and c) I know you have problems with your Gongie's final moults...

    Issues with gongy falling?

    Hi I have had this in every generation: 10-20% of the females fall down right after the final moult, 90% do fine. I do not know why some fall down. I guess the better the food, the better the final moulting will be (strictly big flies fed with honey and flower pollen or bees). I know you like...

    devils flower mantis??does anyone breed these?

    Hi Thanks all. To be honest, hibiscusmile, it is its natural colours, but I amplyfied them in Photoshop (levels, colour balance, brightness and contrast etc.). I made it a little more purple and I made the green belt around the base of the Pronutum a little more green ;-) regards

    devils flower mantis??does anyone breed these?

    Yes, right. That's why they are so abaundant. Because everybody has bred them. Why you do not buy from all these breeders? I know they are very abundant, that's why scemmers made several thousand bucks here in this forum with this species. Actually, knowing this I should double the price. Why...

    devils flower mantis??does anyone breed these?

    Yes, he does not have the IGM No. 25 stock, so good luck with his Idolos. Same here as always: I want it, but I want the cheapest. I would'nt waste any money on them, but good luck ;-) It's not by chance that mine are more expensive: Mine you can breed :-)

    How to say '' mantis '' in different languages!

    Hi The Germans call them "Gottesanbeterin" which means "God adorer". The last two letters ("in") make it feminine. So it's a female adorer of god. Of course we use also "Mantis" or the most scientific term "Mantodea". I remember the Indonesians use another name for mantis, at least in...
