I would love to have this species. If you plan on selling any ooths please let me know .

They have been in my top 5 most wanted!

 

[The_Asa]

It's not that no one wants them, it's that there are not enough of them, and whenever I keep them, there seem to be a shortage of males <_<

 

[hibiscusmile]

Yes, send US (me) :lol: some ooths!

 

[Thorska]

My friend was going to get a Deroplatys ooth but it never came. He was going to give me some of the nymphs if there were too many.

Nice D. labata! I decided to drop my D. labata and D. dessicata after a few generations a while back, but now I miss them.

At least I have D. dessicata ooths incubating and I'll have D. truncata sub adults at the end of september.

Do you think it is worth it to go to a place 2 hours away to get d. truncata and orchid mantids? :huh: :huh:

Yea, guess you are right

I think the reason people are less and less interested in such type of mantis is simple - they are a bit boring.
