Hey so as some of you may know, I have started a website for information on mantids, feeding them and how to make breeding boxes etc etc..
I am now trying to start doing an exotic mantids care sheet & information section and could not find where the budwing mantis was native to originally. As well as a few other things I have left blank with ****** in the care sheets. If anyone could help me with any of these it would be greatly appreciated.
website is http://melbournemantids.com if you want to check it out and correct or add things to the care sheets
Also what are the top 10 most commonly kept exotic species? I have currently done
Odontomantis planiceps - asian ant mantis
Parasphendale agrionin - budwing mantis
Polyspilota aeruginosa - Madagascan Marbled Mantis
Tenodera sinensis - Chinese mantis
Phylocrania paradoxa - ghost mantis
Idolomantis diabolica - devils flower mantis
Hymenopus coronatus - orchid mantis
I plan to add these today
wharlbergii
popa spruca
So which ones have I missed or overlooked? And if anyone has photos of these species I would love to get permission to use them, as I can't take any myself as they are all illegal in Australia.
Thanks for help and/or pictures!
