OH MY GOD!

Im got one, wooooo!

just the one piccie at the mo, cant believe how small he/she is, hope he`ll be alright while i go on holiday for 2 weeks, how long could a mantis( and one this size) go without food for?

"Sup"

 

[robo mantis]

Well i guess i won't tell you since you have my dream mantis! It can last 5 days without food maybe a week if very full.

Bugger, and no one can look after them for 2 weeks, i`ll cram it full of fruitfleis out fo the bin and hope

After losing three Spiny Flower Mantids, I've been wondering, if this could be a good replacement - I just love this type of mantids, exotic and gives the impression of being a very good and able hunter...

I'll buy six of them, all 2-3 instar - I just hope they will not give me a heart attack.

In my op, you should get a moist substrate, spray the container well before leaving, and dump in a whole bunch of fruitlfies. (You shoult bloat the nymph too) They'll live a week, I think, cause of the water. Maybe you could try getting some pupae of d.hydei (harveest from your culture), and leave it there. After a week, when the others die, they could hatch and more food!!! Wonder if it'll work....

Well he died eons ago

How big do these guys get? im sure i read the females reach 7-8cm long, there not the same size as whalbergiis are they?

 

[Ben.M]

Females reach between 5-6 cm

 

[Kruszakus]

About 5-6 cm, some people claim that they grow up to 7-8 cm, but this is not true - especially outside their natural habitat.
