A lad on UKmantisforums said: Hooray! Mystery solved. :) I'll label them as- Prohierodula cf. laticollis "Togo".

I've got those photo diary thingies of mantids in the photos section as they're easy to keep track of... but I just can't be bothered with the others lol.

Thanks Denise

Brian, hi. It's Richard. N (administrator of Mantis Keepers and Phasmids and Mantids Group on facebook). What you said here doesn't really add up because there are no Asiadodis sp. decribed as "A. laticollis" in that genus and the confusion might have come from the fact that Choeradodis...

A little more than what I would add to make mashed potato using those flakes so that it's a little runnier. Instead of boiling water in the kettle then adding it to the dry mix (the potato + brown sug + white sug), I microwave it for 30-60 seconds until the mixture 'feels right'. Right after I...

Sarracenia spp. and D. muscipula are actually one of the easiest genera of CPs to grow if you live in zones 7 and 8 (same climate as N. and S. Carolina where they are from) and if you have an area outdoors that receives at least 7 hours of direct sunlight a day as they are adapted to grow in...

Whoops, I forgot to make myself clear as to why you can't grow them all together in one terrarium. The Sarracenia sp. and D. muscipula are both from North America so they are adapted to the US climate and HAVE to go into dormancy during the cold, winter months. Without this 3-5 month period of...

Nice additions dmina. What you have there is a Sarracenia sp. (the pitchers are immature so it's hard to tell the species), the well-known Dionaea muscipula and a Drosera spatualta... so you can't keep them all together 3 main rules Water: -CPs geneally evolved to catch insects and small...

Yup, it's normal for H. majuscula. I had some nymphs with this 'colour morph' last year as well but the orange colouration faded away at around 6th instar to a normal green colour.

Glad to see that more and more are having success with my method and I told ya guys and gals that the cotton ball works wonders. ;) I actually read the cotton ball substitute thing from somebody on the UK mantis forum so the credit goes to him/her (I can't remember Who exactly it was)...

[08.02.15] I had a proper dig in the whole laying tank and found 26 eggs and 6 larvae. So in total, I have 10 larvae and 26 eggs so far. :clap: Untitled by Darkrai283, on Flickr

[04.02.15] I stumbled across a newly hatched larva while changing the jelly pots. :) IMG_2587 by Darkrai283, on Flickr IMG_2575 by Darkrai283, on Flickr IMG_2576 by Darkrai283, on Flickr

[11.01.15] I had a rummage in the top few centimeters of the substrate to check if the logs had been gnawed into and found 4 eggs. Untitled by Darkrai283, on Flickr
