    Desert mantises still in the US hobby?

    A few years back I bought a few of these guys, leading to me breeding them and selling off all the nymphs. I chose not to keep any nymphs as I was at a time where I wouldn't be able to raise more and wanted to move on to other species. Looking at the hobby now they seem to have fallen out which...

    Help with Theopompa servillei

    Flat surfaces are preferred as they are a bark mantis. A bit warmer than room temp with a bit of humidity is probably best.

    Desert mantis (Eremiaphila sp.) food

    I'm interested in these guys but I have one issue. Some people say they need firebrats as feeders while some seem to just use foods such as flies. Anyone with experience with these guys have success raising them from a young age with flies?
