Hello All!

[sufistic]

Hello everyone!

I'm a 28 year old graphic designer living in Singapore. I've been interested in mantids from a very young age, having reared and bred some local mantids successfully.

I'm currently rearing a female Deroplatys Lobata which me and my younger brother acquired from Cameron Highlands, Malaysia. She recently laid an ooth and we're still tracking its development.

Also, I've purchased 2 Hymenopus Coronatus from DeShawn (Thanks Mantiskingdom.com!). They've arrived in good condition and they seem to naturally adapt to the local climate. Although I sincerely believe that these specie was once widespread in Singapore, urbanization has made it really difficult to find one. I'm attempting to breed them and reintroduce them here.

I've also, with me, a H. Coronatus ooth, T. Elegans ooth and a R. Basalis ooth. All of them acquired from Cameron Highlands (which is an 8 hours drive away from home), except the T. Elegans ooth which was laid here in Singapore by an adult female (Cameron Highlands) which soon died thereafter.

I hope to post some pictures soon and be more involved in this wonderful forum!

Welcome!

Your trying to reintroduce a species? You might want to check up on the legalities concerning that...
