Heterochaeta - gentle giant :)

Here's some pics of one of my Heterochaeta females Adults reach up to almost 6 inches

Now I get what is wrong... I don't see the entire "intert image" bar - "http://" is there by default...

Great pictures! They are very similar to an "unidentified bug" picture a friend sent me the other day.

those are nice looking, I especially like the back end with the wings!

Those are pretty cool.

Nice pix, nice mantis. I had that trouble with trying to use HTP// twice until Suprerfreak straightened me out.

The funny thing is, I used to keep them at 25C, and they seemed to like the colder conditions. I moved their enclosures to my glasshouse, where it's like 40-45C, and they still did fine - the only difference was, they started growing rapidly. I guess they need some really high temps to get going.

Superfreak, hmmm !

Some new pics...

The pictures don't give credit to this threat display - it's really cool to see it live

 

[lancaster1313]

That is beautiful, and huge!

My boyfriend said "That is terrifying!" but I think they're beautiful and I love the threat pose!

 

[Ghostie]

Wow that's an interesting one too!

Very nice pics and Mantis.

Mantis get more and more interesting with each picture I see.

Very cool, how many pairs do you have?

 

[Kruszakus]

I've got like 10 pairs or something - one female died recently, for no apparent reason...

You really should see this treat pose live - those colors are just stunning

I would love to see it live! But I'm not properly equipped to handle such a large crawly pet right now
