Stop doing this to me!

It is my dream to have a unicorn mantis! Or at least E. Pennata or Gongylodes!

I envy you...

I believed Ph. Chlorophaea is available in Europe, where are you from?

From Trains, Planes & Automobiles, John Candy says it best Lovely, Lovely, Lovely! :lol:
Watched that movie before, love it!! RIP John Candy.......

 
Yes, Ph. Chlorophaea is already available in Europe - I'm from Poland, my friend has an ooth, but nothing hatched so far - If it does, I'll buy it.

Zoolea is available too! But the price is around 12-15 euro, for 2-3 instar! And through the internet - I like deals face-to-face - you just never know what will happen with the package - and on top of that, the "no refunds policy" discouraged me enough...

 
A photo of a living specimen of any one of those species would have been a miracle unto itself, even just a few years ago. To see them all together truly makes that one of the most AMAZING insect photos I've ever seen!

Keep up the great work!

Thanks Peter! well, you know better than me that just few years ago, there were only few breeders existed in the USA and loads of people have no idea what a praying mantis is!! but thanks to pioneer like you we have more breeders now and therefore more chances experiencing new species.
