Help, advice or care sheets needed.

[Gillian]

Hi, does anyone have or know where we can get care sheets on Idolomantis diabolicum and Blepharoppsis mendica mantis. We have had both of these but not had much luck in keeping them alive, just wondered if they needed a different way of caring for them from the easier type mantis. Have not been able to find anything on the web so all help and advice appreciated, thanks

a regular user on this messageboard promised a Idolomantis Caresheet a while back, but I havn't heard it mentioned since

Do you mean me?

Well, the caresheet is finally on the way to be published in the second half of the year, but it's in German. It depends on the publisher if he allows a translation in English for another journal. By the way, what hobbyist journals are there on the English-American market dealing with terraristic, or better, insect issues? It should be a somewhat major one which can be bought everywhere.

Regards,

Christian
