    Miomantis binotata in the US?

    I was wondering if anybody was raising this species here in the states. I think they are awesome and way cooler than paykulli. I would love to get my hands on some but I have no idea if anyone raises them in the US.

    Creobroter pictipennis Mating

    So last night I tried to pair up my C. pictipennis. I gave the female a moth to eat and while she was eating I introduced the male behind her. He took notice of her and was moving very slowly. The female is a very skittish mantis, probably the most skittish one I have ever had. The male waited...
