Welcome! I'm not from Hong Kong, but I hang around Hong Kong people all the time. 欢迎你! (sorry, I prefer writing in simplified)

Welcome you should get those mantids soon everyone on the forum knows how to ship things. Your best bet would be buying eggs because live nymphs die in long trips.

Yes I do! Cantonese to be specific. I think yen_saw is also Chinese. He's a popular guy here on this forum.

"Leh Ho Mah" (How are you-Cantonese). Howdy Patrick. There is a Hong Kong mantis forum which is quite popular. The only thing is you are only allow to post mantis from the wild, the admin there is very strict about posting mantis in captivity and not native to Hong Kong so beware. Here is the link

Thanks Ogiga i am a Malaysian Chinese and a wife from Hong Kong so i speak several languages and chinese dialects, and i am not always popular to everyone here :wink:

I didn't know about that HK insect forum. I'll have to check it out! Their policy doesn't sound very nice...

 

[OGIGA]

I've been trying to get to the site all day. Did something happen to the server? I can't seem to get in.

 

[yen_saw]

Pardon my ignorant Ogiga. I put up a bad link. Here is the right one.

Oh I see! Great! Looks like this forum is more active, but there are some pretty awesome looking mantis pictures there.
