[QUOTE="Deacon, post: 289718, member: 8619"] Okoboji22, I've only kept seven species so far but Chinese is still on top followed by Sphodromantis and Hierodula. It seems I am partial to big, friendly, green mantids :) I would repeat any of these species as they were all aggressive feeders but gentle to handle. I also have Double Shield adults that are [U]huge[/U] (pretty tans) and they are great now but were skittish nymphs. I love my Budwing female (very sweet and pretty) but the male reminds me of a flying termite. I have Popa spurcas that are so sedentary I just put them together in a big barrel cage to see if they will interact. Lastly, I raised Ghosts. I know everyone seems to love them (they are interesting) but I haven't really enjoyed them---too delicate and unsteady. Maybe if I were into photography or if they were the only mantids I had at one time, I'd appreciate them. Anyway, I doubt I would repeat any of the last four species. Just me. [/QUOTE]
