Sylbia is hard to raise I think, what are the conditions on keeping them, this way we can make better decision, unless of course, U r coming with them! ;)

They take a long time to grow into adult i must admit, also go through a 'cooler' period like a diapause in late instar stage or around L7. For the early nymph stage i keep them around 80F/50% well ventilated. During diapuase period it is 70F/30% with very short hour of light for 1-2 months, then move back to 80F/60% with extra misting till they are adults. Thanks for your feedback Rebecca now at least i know.
I think they'd sell faster if you listed prices.
I have different prices, some don't even have to pay me. Which is why i have the email address stated on the ad.

Its first time when I m hear about a disapause with Sibyllas :)

I havnt use this in my culture. Of course I m admit too with You, Yen , the Sibyllas are growing slowly.

My conditions in which I keept the Sibyllas was all the time 80F/55-60%

Anyway, with the Sibyllas no one should have problems with mate. They are really easy and no agressive for themselvs :)

 
YOur welcome Yen, and Frey, are these your first generation with them?

ps Rick, I know this is not right place for this discussion, any change u can move most of it to new place for us?

Yes, that is my first generation breeded myself. Ooths of my Sibyllas has comt to me one years ago from South Africa, maybe reason of diffrences in breeding is area from which mantis are coming from ?

Anyway, I havnt do any disapause but in sub imago they live during 2.5-3 months, males little less.

 
Damn, I would have jumped at the Sibylla prestiosa nymphs but I just bought an ooth last week. :blink:

Update:

No more fresh adult violin pairs. Only some fresh adult females are still available.

All L2 ghost are taken, still have some L1 hatching out as of today.

There are taker for all other species except for Sibylla prestiosa, which is surprising.

Justyna, i will send you email about the Sibylla prestiosa. My stock is from Pretoria, South Africa.

 
So We have the same stock with us cultures :)

I m sure from the same person :)

Ok,

Thank You Yen :)

 
UPDATE:

Only some asian brown mantis (Hierodula multispina) nymphs left, they rest are taken. Will post up more when available.

:)

Yes

Exactly :)

To sum up : 2 other way to breed the same specie
Yes i traded some native species with few S. prestiosa oothecae from Terence too at the beginning of the year. My breeding stock took a good 5 months to become adult and the first generation hatched recently.
