    what mantis species is the strongest?

    +1 ... my idolos are total pansies. Of the species I keep I'd say for ferocity and sheer power it's a tossup between the H. majuscula and the P. medioconstricta. Majuscula wins because they attack prey so aggressively though. I'm also with AgentA on the size issue... I can't count the number...

    Trades: Brunneria, gemmatus, oxy

    Brunneria borealis have started to trickle out of their ooths (very cool nymphs!) so I will have a few nymphs available in a few weeks. I don't think I have space for more than a couple! The Oxyopsis gracilis ooth also hatched recently and I'm looking to rehome about a dozen of them when they...

    A while back Alex and I traded some Mio nymphs for an oxy ooth. The little guys hatched today, around 25 of them, all perfect. Yay! Thanks so much I adore this species.

    Hatchlings.....

    Yep, the longer you keep them confined the more likely they are to cannibalize.

    Need informations about Acontista multicolor

    I don't know about A multicolor, but my M paykullii that reproduced parthenogenically were weaker than stock produced from two parents. I had a high mortality rate the first few instars, and the one I kept was born missing a leg and after three molts has not regrown. I mentioned this to Carey...

    "Frozen"?

    I should note that he is firmly clinging to the ceiling of his container.

    "Frozen"?

    I took out my P. wahlbergii L4 nymph today. He was his usual cool self, doing his little dance, totally normal. He molted a couple if days ago. I had my hubby hold him while I cleaned his container with dish soap. I then fed him fruit flies - same ones I've been feeding him - and put him back...

    screened cages and humidity

    I'm liking net cages more and more, for ventilation. I keep mine on a pebble tray full of water and spray frequently to keep the humidity up and it seems to work pretty well. Do avoid metal screen if you're doing something yourself. I'm not sure what kind of elaborate cage you mean. I also...

    How long after laying?

    How long after a female lays should I wait to try to breed her? I put my P. medioconstricta together about 5 days after, and she is currently eating his head, without ever connecting, I don't think. I never see her (or most of my others, with like 2 exceptions) actually calling, but she had a...

    P. medioconstricta male wanted

    My female is munching on the male's head at the moment and I never saw them connect. If anyone's got a spare male I'd love to hear from you.

    Who lives in North Carolina?

    I'm in TN... not too far.

    Creos overly scared of each other??

    My gemmatus acted just like that. I left them in a net cube with spots for him to hide, overnight, and they mated early in the morning. I decided I don't have time to stand around waiting for males to make their move :shifty: so now I just park pairs in the Love Shack, Shaggin Wagon, or...

    D. lobata wanted

    I have a female currently L5 and I'd really love to breed this species, if anyone has one or a few close to her age. I'd like a male especially but wouldn't mind another female either. Thanks :) I can pay you, or possibly trade.

    I hear some boys prefer the full-figured look.
