Hiya all

[daermon1000]

My name is John, I live in Leeds, West Yorkshire, UK. I am quite new to mantids, I have been keeping them since around may this year, I started with 2 small Orchid numphs, both turned out to be male lol and have gone on to be mated to a freinds females, now I have Gongylus gongylodes, Deroplatys dessicata, Hierodula salomonis, Rhombodera Sp., Phyllocrania paradoxa and a load of 1st instar Hierodula Membranacea.

I find this hobby absolutely facinating, I have kept tarantulas for a while and love them too, but with mantids there is always something to do.

I look forward to talking to and mostly listening to you all.

Cheers

John
