[ismart]

Thanks guys. Paul, as agreed i will send you the adult male instead. One of the females finally laid an ooth that looks like a bean string :blink: pretty neat.

Sweet! B) Thanks yen! His services will be greatly appreciated.

About 18 nymphs hatched from the first ooth.......



Bean string shaoe ooth



This male is not so happy when i took him out of the cage. He wants to stay with the female. but i am sure he is now happy as Paul has some cool females for him

Why the sacrifice?

 

[tier]

Hi Yen

The Decimiana nymph was bit by another Decimiana nymph. The bitten one was thrown on the ground afterwards, with a deadly wound in the neck. So I gave it to a very tiny Idolomantis although this food may be dangerous for Idolomantis.

regards,

Stefan

The photo shows us that Idolomantis can eat the other thing than the flying preys.

You he in given in force-feeding or she(it) him in caught only?

 

[yeatzee]

You use a ring flash?

 

[tier]

Hi

I used foreceps to hand-feed, Marianna13. How about your Deciomiana? How they are doing in Belgium?

No, yeatzee, I have no ring-flash, only the small included flash of the EOS400. Well, I have taken the picture inside the glass-enclosure with lamps above it, maybe these lights cause the impression.

regards,

Stefan

I have not seen mating(coupling), not still a heavyweight(laying,eggs) yet either

He(It) not it in more than to wait and to hope

I believe I have this species, I will try to take pic tomorrow for confirmation from you guys. Right now it is looking like I have only one male and too many girls, just all turning adult, anyone got some males for trade if it is same species?

 

[hibiscusmile]

Hummm, after checking the other photos again, I am sure it is same, but will post pic, hope there are males around.
