hello!

my name is Alex. im 16 years old and have been fascinated by mantids and insects in general for as long as i can remember.

i grow a vast number of carnivorous plants! my favorite are the Nepenthes. when i find mantids i love taking pictures of them (like the ones in Sparky's post ). id like to own my first mantis soon but i have a lot to learn with bug eating plants...the mantids would have some competition...if not a predator!!

Hi Alex,

Welcome, I'm Dave S. from terraforums.com.

I'm planning to setup a display for keeping Giant Asian mantids at an upcoming carnivorous plant show in September.

Your pictures came out nice.

I am very new to mantids. I bought a Giant Asian ooth from this site a few months ago and the nymphs are doing great.

No accidents yet. I had a few mantids in a container with some utrics, which are harmless to them, and a few non-cps.

Welcome!

Although, imagining a mantis being eaten by a carnivorous plant would be kind of sad!

The only insect you can never feed to anything...besides another mantis :?
