    Ghosts: Colouring & communal ???

    @hysteresis thanks! Yes i thought ill keep the top open as needed (partly, fully etc depending on conditions) as i will make a mesh lid/ top anyway.  The sides are acrylic so I could burn a few holes in aswell for a better ventilation. What location would be best for the holes? Along the bottom...

    Sexing Rhombo nymph?

    @River Dane hi, I believe you are talking about Exo/ B? I have seen the references online and I myself am wondering whether my seller got the stock from him or somewhere along the line and just doesnt want to specifically tell me because of the mixed reputation..... But the Red Devil does seem...

    Sexing Rhombo nymph?

    I got them from someone in the UK (where I live) who could not give me much information either, she said she got a number of nymphs from a friend as she also wanted to breed them and she resold some. Im just a little bit worried whether she was just reselling her spare males however, I guess she...

    Sexing Rhombo nymph?

    I know and thats what I mean by the controversy. All I can say (since there is almost no info online available) is that a breeder (from Poland/ Germany???) called Exo offers them aswell. However, I did not buy them from him.

    Sexing Rhombo nymph?

    This is the sellers photo of the nymph, I bought 5 of them.  Sold as Red Devil mantis, Rhombodera sp red.   Was told it gets redder as it grows and for the best colour to keep it in darkened area at 18C.  Does that sound feasable or does it sound alarm bells to anyone?

    Sexing Rhombo nymph?

    Its the elusive "Red Devil". To be honest, im not even totally sure if this is real or I've been duped into a hoax. There seems to be a bit of a controversy around this "Red Devil" stock... Just around the time when I started to feel all cocky thinking hmmmm the next mantis I buy, Id like to...

    Sexing Rhombo nymph?

    What instar would you say one could make an educated guess at sexing a Rhombodera  nymph? According to this care sheet it can be done after 2nd molt. So would that be L3 then? Would you agree with such a suggestion...
