Hi all! Just wanted to introduce myself, my name is Nick and I live in Sunrise, FL which is a western suburb of Ft. Lauderdale. I have always loved mantids of all shapes and sizes, I currently have a small selection of Asian Giant mantids and some grass mantids but have raised flower mantids and carolina mantids previously before. When I lived up North, I used to keep the awesome Chinese mantids during the fall, I would find the females in my garden once it started getting cold outside and would keep them in their separate enclosures: feeding them and keeping them warm --- kind of like an senior citizen community!!! Since moving to South FL, I have been reading about the various species that exist down here but unfortunately, have not found any as of yet 
Hopefully my luck will change this summer! I also am a tropical plant enthusiast and have a nice collection of tropical pitcher plants which do very well in the steamy humid summers of S. FL!
