    Ghozt

    Ordered a male gongy from ghozt. He threw in 2 males (adult) and 4 free nymphs (L2ish). Unfortunately the Post Office sucks! Was available for pick-up on March 28th, but they didn't send me the slip til' April 9th, so everything was dead. He packed it up very well with heat packs and nice...

    Do I have a pair?

    Ricardo, I find gongies quite tricky to sex at the young stages... I thought I had 2 females until rather recently when i noticed one had feather antennae and the other was short and thin.. Do you have any pics of the little guys?

    A Variety of New Enclosure Ideas

    Spore, these are AWESOME! Some of the nicest enclosures I've seen so far. I love the idea of using different colored pet bedding along with colored flowers. I wish those aluminum mesh cages (2nd pic) were made of a finer material where FFs wouldn't be able to escape from... that would be the...

    Gongylus Gongylodes

    I'll get some shots of that tomorrow for ya ;-) I believe they live longer than what the "usual" mantis lives for. After taking a lengthy time to mature, the female lives for quite a few months after their last molt.

    Gongylus Gongylodes

    Ricardo, I believe the male is subadult, and the female is pre sub. If you want them to grow keep them WARM! Thanks Debb, I used the GH2 to photograph these. I didn't have a true macro lens when I shot these, so hopefully the next pics will be better with a real macro ;-)

    Instead of pinning full bodies...

    If you're doing it more for the looks, than the scientific part, then I'd say go for it... definately an interesting conversation starter!
