Hi everyone,
My name is James, I'm 20 and a mantis keeper/breeder/enthusiast from Australia.
I've got a nice little collection of natives and exotics at the moment but I'm always looking to expand!
Full list as follows:
Hierodula majuscula (Giant rainforest praying mantis) 2x female, 2x male 3rd instar
Tenodera australasiae (Purple Winged Mantis) 1x Adult Male
Idolomantis Diabolica (Giant Devil's Flower Mantis) 1x Female L6, 1x Male L5
Pnigomantis Medioconstricta (Indonesian Double Shield Mantis) 15 Freshly hatched 1st instars
Parasphendale affinis (Budwing Mantis) 2x Female, 2x Male 4th instar
The mantis pictured is the male idolomantis, Definately my favourite of the bunch.
Right now I am actively looking to expand my collection, ill be making a wanted post in the classifieds shortly but to give you an idea of what I'm looking for (I am looking for oothecas only since I will most likely be getting them imported, unless there are other mantid breeders in Aust who have exotic species):
Pretty much any mantid species that is not a stick, dead leaf or grass mantid species.
In particular I am looking for orchid mantis ooths, thistle mantis ooths, conehead/alien head mantis ooths, interested in all types of boxer/wide arm mantids, unicorn mantis ooths among others.
I don't have any ooths available for trade at the moment so they will be outright sales (Money is really no object for my more desired species as listed above), If you have other exotic ooths that I haven't listed, don't be afraid to send me a message or reply, I am open to many, many kinds of species
