We got this beautiful insect at Cameron Highlands. She's with us in our car, on our way back home to Singapore.

Thanks for the replies!

Well OGIGA, most of the mantids found in Malaysia used to be widespread in Singapore as well. Due to urbanization, it has become increasingly difficult to find mantids such as the D. Lobata, D. Dessicata, H. Coronatus and other exotic species.

That does not prove though, that those species doesn't exist here. We still have some forests left and there have been occasions of people finding the above-mentioned mantids.

Singapore is located at the southern tip of Malaysia by the way.

 
i think she laid a couple before i caught her, she only laid one small one for me, around 30 came out and only 12 made it

 
Good job, brother

It must be very expensive to keep a car in Singapore.

How bad is that?

Will you plan to breed this species that come home with you?
