Rhomboderas are my favorite mantids in the hobby. They get to a good size, ~3.5" in my experience, but they are the strongest, most aggresive mantids i've ever known! My L6 (1.5") female rhombo just took down a swallow-tail butterfly yesterday! She took a strike and realized it was too...

or plant food depending on which greenhouse Andrew found it in! :D ugly little booger...

Hahaha i guess you've never seen plants in the Nepenthes genus! Check out these pics: http://schools-wikipedia.org/images/204/20466.jpg.htm http://www.hartmeyer.de/Bilder_allgemein/N...mitMaus_720.JPG http://image58.webshots.com/458/2/80/74/20...07ogAsjm_fs.jpg...

Christian, Is the the biggest in the world or in the hobby?

how long is that one christian? any pics?

Man, you have no idea how long it took me to find it! my depth field was all wrong... I feed my budwings about once every 3 days. Their abdomens are good indicators-if they huge and bloated, they're full, and if they're really skinny, they're starving! Try and keep it somewhere inbetween.

ugh i just HATE plant eating bugs! they just look wierd, and it probably doesnt help i grow a ton of plants...most of them eat bugs (yes, the plants eat bugs-they're carnivorous), which makes me think of them as first plant food, then enemies of my plants, then food for my mantids. So i like...

oh man craneflies are hilarious! my mantids are evil little "buggers" to these guys! they seem to find pleasure in the crane flies fragility, and break the legs and wings off before eating the body! it's darkly funny and totally twisted! Yours sound even better! :lol: ... :unsure: ...

Very good! now wait when they turn into little breeding machines that crank out 10+ of these and you end up being overwhelmed and you cant even give them away and...yeah. ask andrew lol. They look good!

keeping on the original question... theoreticaly you can have 100 nymphs without a pair. It is mathmatically possible. It's all a numbers game dude-mantids, and the world all just a bunch of numbers. :mellow: *x-files music* Think about it like this: if you buy two, you have a 1 in 2...

amazing! my ghosts all just shed into adults...im so excited! do you have any males? she looks gorgeous! what are those other green things in the back left though?

Well, obviously, if it is practical, you should seperate them as soon as you get them. Whether they hatch or whatever-the sooner the better. Better safe than sorry! ;)

that vidoes was horrible! It kept glitching, stoping, restarting, and skipping in the most random times! It took me well over 5 minutes to watch the first 3! But other than that it was fine! :D

Very nice! Mine just molted out too! They look nearly idebtical too...i should post pics! Wow, only 1/2 of your index finger? My male is 3 in. long!

Hey guys! I have some budwings to let go of. It's $5 ea. for the older ones, and $2.50 ea. for the younger ones. I'll consider trades but am looking mostly at sales right now. Thanks! Frankie
