If anyone has some male Acanthops sp. at subadult or adult please contact me. I can pay or sort something out with ooths. Cheers, Ross

Definite male

Wow , sorry to hear about your bad luck. I have only ever experienced 1 case of cannibalism with mine and that was when they had hardly any food and the one that was eaten had a bad moult and was acting strange . I even put 15 L1 idolos in with my 3 hungry L3 the other day for a few hours while...

I had the same problem with my p.affinis , either gently blow on them or leave them hanging upside down , give them a while as it sometimes doesnt happen straight away . It took over 1/2 an hour for mine to connect Good luck!

Sorry to hear that it wasn't a success

As said before , dark enclosed areas. When mine escaped a couple of years ago she was amongst plastic bags up on a shelf Good luck!

Well it has popped up before , looking for the name of moss mantis and it is always said to be pseudacanthops

Love that species , it is pseudacanthops sp.

No they should be fine , if I remember correctly they eat their way out

Defo sub

Usually it doesn't fully grow back , it generally just looks like a smaller leg. As long as its still healthy there is nothing to worry about

Acanthops sp can live for over a year as adults and take 4+ months to mature and can lay 20+ oothecae

Defo worth a try , take the head off whatever you are feeding it and gently place it towards its mouth. It might be a bit hesitant at first but once it gets a taste it will know what you are doing Good luck

Could be heterochaeta sp but not sure without a full body pic

The male might be pre sub as at sub it would have quite thick antennae

All you rally need is the right moulting surface , something that the can cling to without falling and then they are a piece of cake

Yeah defo pseudacanthops

Haven't gotten to read the whole topic yet but I think personally it can be where you get your crix from what it's been fed , conditions etc. I got a few orchid mantises a few months ago . I heard on all breeding diaries , care sheet and everything that to not feed crix , I always try to feed...

My idolos grew quite fast , moulted every 12-15 days and the last 30 days , just about 4 months For longest lived i would put acanthops sp in as they can live as adults for over a year

Very nice!
