Hello,
I thought I had posted my intro already but I guess I haven't.
I'm 30 and I have no idea where I am from anymore since I move every year it seems but I am currently living on beautiful Whidbey Island in Washington State. My time here is limited however since I will soon be returning to my career in teaching sustainable tropical agriculture in South America.
I have been fascinated with insects, reptiles, and amphibians since I was little and have been working with them my whole life either in captivity or observing in the wild. As far as mantids go, I always loved finding them growing up and was first introduced to exotic species in my early teens when a vendor at a reptile show gave me an ooth of an african species which I believe was Sphodromantis lineola. I raised quite a few generations of them and really wanted to get other exotic species but at the time they were pretty hard to come by.
In more recent years I have been keeping Phyllocrania paradoxa and Hymenopus coronatus. In my travels I have encountered some fantastic species in the wild in South America and Africa that I will have to share photos of when I have time later.

Even if you do move again, be sure to come back and visit - the website loads anywhere in the world after all.
