This species, and what can you tell me about it? Odontomantis planiceps Thanks

8) As it says on the tin!

:oops: Promised the kids that I do exhibits for, in my area, that I would show them a real camel spider, next time. Tom Halverson had some for sale, and I did not think he would run out, now he has, and I have an exhibition coming up, and 50 kids that are going to be dissapointed! Anyone...

1) If attaching an ooth to the top of a container, or at the top side, so to speak, could a blob of wax, a small bit, be just as good as the glue, or threading method. 2) Today, I bought a tub of fruit flies. Inside the tun are tiny flies, and also this kinda weird looking liquid??? Girl...

1) The most fav matis that you had, and why? 2) Most difficult Mantis that you have tried to keep in captivity? 3) Approx how many types have you ever had? 4) Have any of your mantids ever been killed by anything meant to be prey? 5) Most pretty Mantis? 6) Most unusal looking? 7)...

As regulars know, I have and do keep a range of different insects and archanids, etc. Here is a question. When one of my Mantids dies, I have often placed the body in a tub, and to be honest, it does decompose a little, but essentially keeps it's shape. I once had a Centipede, and when it...

Do all species of tarantula make webs? I ask because I have watched some feeding on You Tube, and they appear to leap on their victim, rather than use a web. One last thing. I have just bought this one... http://www.petbugs.com/caresheets/H-minax.html Anyone had one of those before?

Wanted, someone in the UK who can sell me, or give me a UK link to where I can get a Bettle of the type mentioned, not the grub, the actual beetle.#

Has it ever been attempted, I assume that it has. Take two Mantids of different species, see if they will produce an ooth. General consensus from other sources so far suggest that it would fail, for three reasons, one, they would see one another as prey and not a mate, two, they have evolved...

What the common name is for either of these? And any further info.. Polyspilota griffinii praying mantis Pseudempusa pinnapovonis Mantis

Using common name if poss, and pic even better, what species of Mantis have you had, that you would consider the ULTIMATE predator, for speed, accuracy, appetite, etc, etc..? :)

I have waxworm grubs, and have taken to popping a live one in with my boxes of crickets, is this good for the crickets, and therefore, the mantis, if eventually eaten? Discuss....

I have had a lovely wee twig Mantid for a few weeks, it was never a great eater mind you, and the tank I had it in seemed too large, so I swapped it for a smaller enclosure, and tried alernating food. It is 11pm here, and I was just off to bed, when I found that he/she was lying on the base...

From this list? http://www.virginiacheeseman.co.uk/ (Look under spider section and scorpion section, select one of each)

I would like to buy either a Rhiino Beetle or Stag Beetle, pref male. Anyone have a UK link?

Hi, I bought this giant eyed Mantis, it is a nymph. Don't know what the fancy name for it is, but it has shed once, and shed v well. Anyway, I tried it on crickets, and it showed no interest. Thought it might be intimidated by the food, so I tried it on smaller cricks, same result...

Hi, Anyone advise. Just bought a TWS (juvenille), and it arrives this week. While I am fairly adept at keeping Mantids, this is my first ever TWS. I have tried Google, but it takes too long trawling through all the info, can anyone answer any of these questions please? 1) Are they...

Hi, My name is Steve, from Edinburgh, been keeping Mantids for about 3 years, and at the moment, I have five. :)

When we feed our Mantids, we pay little regard to the crickets, locusts, etc, that we place in their home. So, here is a question that I asked on another forum, would it be unethical to let one type of Mantid go into the home of another species? Or, if like me, you keep various types of...
