[QUOTE="Christian, post: 43703, member: 62"] Hi. In fact, L1 [I]Idolomantis[/I] even may handle [I]Lucilia[/I] flies. There are only 4 persons (including myself) breeding this species from the beginning (first imports some years ago) without adding new blood. My stock changed meanwhile from a one-year to a half-year cycle. The species isn't really simple, so I doubt it will spread like [I]Hymenopus[/I]. Over here, everyone got it and tried to breed it, but after 2 years, the same 4 persons rested which really breed [I]Idolomantis[/I]. Until now, there were 4 stocks known: one from Mwanza, one from Moshi, one from Musoma and one from Malindi. The Malindi and Moshi stocks are extinct in culture, the Musoma one of Sascha is new. He bred it for one generation and was not really successful, so he gave it away to someone else. It would be interesting to know how long it will persist. Only the Mwanza stock persisted from the beginning. The ooths traded by Yen would maybe represent a new stock, if breeding is succesful. The reason why it is important to differentiate between stocks is that they turned out to be partially incompatible and may require different climatic conditions. Without knowing the origin every import is rather risky. Regards, Christian [/QUOTE]
