awww, ONE day.... I shall own the idolo :|
Thanks, it is much harder to do than I imagined. My mantis, Susanna, was restless and was moving constantly enjoying the freedom.

Really great portrait shot! Shows her "smiling" mouth, a curious personality, and more - all in one photo. She also has interesting markings right in the middle of her head that look like arrows pointing straight up.

yeah I agree, its a pretty good shot. Nicely captured!
Awesome! Those are some great shots.
I'd love to be able to raise this species. I've been sent sick ones, both times. The first time I was sent 2, one was puking when I got it and died shortly after. The other died a week later (which was most likely my fault, considering it'd been a week). The second time, I bought 5, but only 1 survived the trip and was puking and died a couple days later. It's very disappointing considering how much I want to raise this species. It is officially my favorite species. It's big, beautiful, color, and has such an original design. I'm eager to get some healthy ones and be able to have more of a chance raising them, I've gotten a lot of advice from Idolo breeders, and I think I'd be quite successful. I'd love to be able to bring more into the hobby and sell them at a cheaper price than most so even those who don't have as much cash can enjoy them. It'd help to keep the species going, the more people were to own them, and have the chance to breed them.
I really can't imagine being happier, than if I had successfully raised an Idolo to adulthood. heck, just to be able to have an adult in my hand, even if I hadn't raised him/her, would be a great pleasure for me. Lol.

Thats because people are only out for themselves, straight greedyness... Makes me puke in my mouth. There's no excuse as to why a single bug should be priced so outrageously, let alone ooths going for 90+ dollars.
not everyone else is so eager to help out the community, our peers, or the hobby. only in it to try and make a quick buck.
just wait bro, we've Already spoke on this topic... Come here real soon all of us "not so wealthy" will even be able to own the outlandishly priced idolo's.

I know, its crazy! Its definitely greed.
i spent $60 for those 5 idolos only for them all to die. He said if i paid shipping hed send me four more for the ones that died during shipment but i turned him down because the odds of any of those four surviving was slim, considering thats how many died the first time... I didnt want to lose even more money.
Yes soon enough we will own them! mark my words, once ive successfully bred them, ill be generous with the nymphs
