A couple of Idolomantis photos

[Ian]

Got a few of these guys through this morning, and I really have forgotten how wonderful they are! Even at L3, just look at the pink on the face, and the little curly antennae.

Again, the photos really do them no justice...

The legs remind me of the legs of the elephants in Salvador Dali paintings.

So at last I have got around to taking some pictures of my first adult female I. diabolicum :!:

She matured on the 6th March. Two more have since matured, just waiting for the males now :wink:

I'll annoy her soon to get a threat display and post the pics.

Can't be bothered with the borders this time :?

absolutly gorgeose fantastic species and great pictures.

do you breed to sell or for personal use?

 

[Rob Byatt]

Thanks danny !

I breed mantids out of interest and sell the excess to gain more species.

I've not bred this species though !

Glad to see more breeders are doing well with this species. It was as rare as giant squid sighting just few years ago. Way to go guys and best of luck.
