    Help with Deroplatys Lobata

    Thanks cometmoth. What makes you think she looks like truncata? They looks so similar when I see pics. I bought it from Usmantis.

    Help with Deroplatys Lobata

    Update. She is back to her normal self. I think maybe she was too cold. Unsure, but she is eating heartily. Still waiting for a molt. Last molt was 8/22.

    Help with Deroplatys Lobata

    Woah. That’s helpful. I’ll check that out. DL is doing better for some reason. Still slow, but more lively. I cleaned her home and put the heat up a little too. Looked like a bit of mold on the cover. Hasn’t had a molt since 8/20. Hoping all is ok.

    Help with Deroplatys Lobata

    Hmm.. that’s interesting. I’m new to Deroplatys species so I just assumed it was what I bought. I keep it pretty warm during the day. Like low 80’s and probably upper 60’s to 70 at night.

    Help with Deroplatys Lobata

    I’m hoping to understand more about my female Deroplatys Lobata. She is an instar 4 and is suddenly lethargic and not so sure footed. Seems sleepy often. I thought it might be molting time but she recently molted. Then she refused food for 10 days. Recently she has eaten. I’ve been spraying...

    New here

    Hi Nan. Welcome. Im new too. I bought from USmantis, mantids, feeder insects and equipment. So far it’s been a good place and they have many different species. Good hunting!

    Saying Hi

    Corrections appreciated. I have one male and one female. Im guessing instar refers to how many molts they’ve had? I got the female as a 2nd instar and is now at 4. For the last few weeks the female has been lethargic and wobbly. I thought she might be ready to molt again but it’s not the case...

    Which do you have currently?

    Saying Hi

    Oh….um Lobatta. The male is pretty active. The female has been oddly lethargic lately. Not ready for molting. Unlike her. A little clumsy too. U sure what’s what. I was told this species is pretty low key so I’m trying to wait it out.

    Thanks for the welcome. I’ve had Chinese mantids in my yard for many years and decided to actually buy a mantid. I bought a golden mantis which became and adult this summer. I put her outside to live her best life. I now have a few Dead leaf mantids. Male and female.
