[QUOTE="006fix, post: 256570, member: 7302"] Sure. Heres a pic of ananke, my eldest. Almost certain she's female, and I think she's either sub-adult or adult - she really bulked up on her last molt, and her colour came in really well. I'll share what I know in case anyone else has them; I know they're not communal, but that said, they do "communicate" with other mantids/empty air/mirrors, with rhythmic movement of the raptorials - the raptorials are slightly shielded, with a red inner side, which they like to flash about. They eat most anything, but they're not the most agressive mantids - they'll often ignore the animals for ages and you'll just find it eaten sometime in the next day. They love to sit very still upside down - they seem to love the mesh lids on their containers for that, and it can be a bit hard to tell if they're molting. that said, they molt very quickly, and as best I can tell, without any kind of difficulties. They also always, always keep their abdomen curled up, I'm not quite sure why. Lovely mantids tho, very nice and placid, and very pretty to look at.
