Pyrgos are about 6cm long

I received many oothecae from Drizzt and all hatched very well. I just have 16! oxypilus from his ootheca he is selling now on this forum.

Acromantis just hatched. 14 new babies! Great deal again. Thanks buddy!

Oh dear, should I start swimming from Europe?

Ha ha ha :) )) Thank you, I like almost every meal, but no mealworms and fruit flies please :) Just love Italian and Chineese food.

Yep, almost 50 babies! hooray!

Nymphs from your ootheca (Texas unicorn) woke me up Yen :) Thanks for your comments

Indeed, those are the easiest for now

I will make it for sure:) Now I'm waiting for hatching cause I have one ootheca. Will seeeee...

Humidity around 50%, I spray only once a week and temperature around 30C. Those are fruit flies (hydei is bigger and meganolaster is smaller)

I'm ordering from USA without any problems till now as your packages arrive much faster than in Europe :) I always receive shipments in about 3-4 days and here in Europe sometimes after 10. USPS is the best and the fastest for now. I think also the cheapest one.

Yen, how do you make that adult males live 4-6months? My best result is 4 weeks, but I kept him in 20C and feed one a week. I have now 4 adult females and have to buy some males as all died :(

Those transformers are always peaceful if they have many flying insects inside the cage. I always leave a bunch of puppae inside and flies are hatching every day so all mantids are not hungry. My 2 pairs made 11 Ooths! One was even 9cm long! Of course the most part was much smaller, but it is...

In Poland ther is a story about an ugly duckling which finally become an amazing duck. Story of this species is the same :) How many hatched?

All those unicorn mantids are very nice. I love barks and all those giraffes like gongylus, sibylla, euchomenella etc :)

While most of you are sleeping now in USA, I prepared some more photos of another beauty. Hope those colours fascinate you as me. Here is a sub and adult male:

I'm really happy they can catch food by themselves and it's not neccessary to feed them, but I think my mantids eat better than me. Because of Yen and some other mantid maniacs I have to eat only bread and butter as my wallet is often empty :)

Hehe this is actually my favourite colour so I had to have it! I also had one blue cilnia humeralis, but of course it's just a morph. Check also Rhombodera fusca. This one is also blue and very nice. We are waiting for hatching now :)

I don't know any as I don't like those common names, latin rules :) They need a bit higher humidity and also a piece of wood instide the box. They are quite fast and like walking on the net at the top of the container, so they are a bit different from all bark mantids. eos 350d + sigma 50mm macro

They are very fast and need a piece of wood. They moult very easy even on the ground so it's really not a problem with them. Just keep around 30C and feed with small insects like hydei or even meganolaster. They attack very fast and make much noise in their plastic boxes because of that.
