Haania sp. (Moss Mantis)

[mantisman 230]

Adrian over in Germany seems to have had progress with these, I have seen him selling Haania confusa nymphs. He must have bred them and had them a bit to sell them in the first place. I like the newer sp. better though, those eyes are WICKED.

Henry ---------- Equipment? BAH !! You have the soul of a master. You could do this with a pinhole camera. Thousands of $$ of equipment? More like thousands of hours of trial and error and tenacity and perseverance and sweat and tears.

Studying your work is a joy.

Thanks! I appreciate that.

And with amazing timing I am hit with horrible new developments. One of the two nymphs was dead in the cup this morning. The second, the one in the photo, molted and had rear legs stuck. I don't expect it to survive next molt. Does anyone still think I am able to write a meaningful care sheet? I think not.

Glad to hear someone is having some success!

Worse news. I just sexed them and they were a pair! The female is now dead.

So sorry to hear that... oh man... bummer... so sorry...

Adian gets them from a supplier pretty sure, I don't know if he has actually bred them.

Thanks. It is a huge bummer. Was really looking forward to seeing how they look as adults. Hopefully I can get more in the spring.

I think Adrian gets his from "Tanzania Reptiles" on FB. Not entirely sure, but that person had them too. They come from somewhere..

I'll make you a deal. If you can get a publisher to back this magazine I'll supply all the photos...

You could always write me a nice article on your moss mantis experience and I could put it in inverterbrates magazine with a moss mantis cover.

There's is a MAGAZINE FOR THAT!!!!!! sweet! Perhaps Adrian did receive his form them, but it seems he has been keeping them, Sally how are your nymphs?

I'd be up for that. Happy to share photos and my limited experience. I just don't feel I have any solid stats on care. Would hate to lead anyone down the wrong path and they end up with infertile ooths like me.

That would be my guess. Another species we may soon have in the hobby.

... How exciting!... Anyone know someone in Ecuador? To hooked up with these ones..

I think the moss mantis is one of my favorites..I think they look so unique, but I think the reason(OCD) it stays on my mind (OCD)... is the "can't" have factor...

Damn Obsessive Compulsive Disorder!

 

[mantiseater]

Definitely not majangela. That is from south America. majangela live in Asia. that is pogonogaster sp.
