Hi everyone!

[Morpheus uk]

Hi all!!!

I have been reading this amazing site for a while now and finally joined. I`ve been keeping exotic insects for as long as i can remember and started breeding them a year or two back. I currently keep phasmids, tailess whip scorpions, millipedes, assassin bugs (not for long) and of course mantids.

At the moment mantid wise i keep:

Euchomenella sp.

Deroplatys lobata

Phyllocrania paradoxa

Hierodula membranacea

Tenodera aridifolia sinensis

Pseudocreobotra wahlbergii

Pseudempusa pinnapavonis

Clinia humeralis

Parasphendale affinis

Popa spurca crassa

Idolomantis diabolicum

:mrgreen:

I swear I want people to culture these in america

I hope to keep and eventually offer this species in near future. There is just too much demand for them here, i believed someone in the US have a healthy size culture but haven't seen them being offered. GUess that's my next target species to populate this culture. Sorry Morpheus don't mean to get off from the topic, welcome and hope you can share with us more on rearing the idolomantis.

www.mantisplace.com is advertizing "male-female pairs" for pre-order. But man are they expensive! $125+shipping for a pair!! Too rich for my blood. Afraid I will have to stick with less exotic species!
