Oh alright. I'm kidding anyway, I wouldn't sell mine for a while either. Haha. But do you know anyone who may have them on Facebook? I don't usually check there. Should I ?I just recently got them

All i've been able to acquire in 
were Miomantis caffra and Hymenopus coronatus. These came from BC.
And that's exceedingly rare. Everything else has come stateside. Ive yet to buy/trade an ooth. I have a few coming though.

I've only ever seen them for sale once and that was years ago on this forum. Needless to say, I was a little too late. They had been sold out just 30 minutes after posting if I remember rightly.
Sorry for a reply on a thread posted back in April, I just had to throw this answer in there.

I know for suret hat mantiszoo.com has some empusa now and then, and they also have some more hard to come by species like catasigerpes and oxypilus.
They do have a great selection. I won their first Instagram contest.
I bought a couple of Heterochaeta, but don't plan on breeding them. I have too many large species in the works right now. Finally got a small group of of Sinomantis denticulata. I'm really excited.

Old thread, but i've spent quite a bit more than $100 per nymph in order to get some of the rarer stuff I've kept. :sweatdrop:

Blepharopsis Mendica. Love my girl but I will likely not be able to acquire another one for a LONG time here in the states...

@Synapze I currently have some iris that are growing up! I'm carrying on my older bro's tradition of catch a few, breed, incubate, release. Though now that I have much more experience, am not ten years old, and have the dedication, I can be a lot more successful!
I'll let you know when I eventually have CB stock available

Read through this thread, and apparently, people forgot about Metallyticus! Definitely at the very top of my list. Even just a dead specimen would be nice one day.
