Is the creobroter (or maybe theoprobus) with the smile on its back already in the hobby? It's adorable. I need one.

I've always like Deroplatys truncata, but I've never seen them available in the US while I've been in the hobby. I hope one day they make their way over in numbers where they might be more commonly available.

Truncata! I'm so jealoussss. That's an awesome haul though! Congrats~

That aint no haul! Exo and his buddies went on a field trip to see these guys in action it seems.

So you are on Borneo then? What are the localities where you found these nice species?

I'm fairly certain he collected most.

 

[Ghost_Keeper]

I'm fairly certain he collected most.

He's also been known to go out and collect these guys in the wild, so there's a good chance it's either.

That's what I'm saying, he collected lots of the bugs he found in Thailand or wherever he went.

Oh. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

 

[Extrememantid]

Oh. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Haha no need to apologize

Amazing finds in the wild, I would be beside myself if I found some of those in the wild. Thanks for sharing, and best of luck with your new pets.

Hey ! 
Already writing this post from Europe 
Most of species showed on a picture's are already HOUSED and let s hope they will be doing well  

Adding few more pics

I'm curious as to where you were collecting now in Asia? As I see you found a Japanese boxer (Acromantis japonica) and seems they are typically found on a certain small island anymore, and even there are becoming harder to find. Very nice finds nonetheless!

 

[Exo]

The one of the mantis you mention is not a Acromantis but citharomantis falcata

Little more difficult to get than pretty common japanese boxer mantis

Whole South East Asia 

 

[CosbyArt]

Yeah that was the one, does looks very similar (at least in that photo) - but after looking up some more photos of the species you gave indeed there are differences

Very nice, seems like the majority you get are ones I haven't heard much if not anything about. Thanks for sharing some great species.
