Yes, I have about 30 nymphs.

They are a small agressive mantid that in the early nymphal stages look like ants.

They move very quickly, I have been keeping mine at room temperature spraying every other day and have had very few losses.

There is excellent info on Yens web site.

some good info here:

its german so you will have to use an online translator if you dont know german. also it says it is based on odontomantis micans but i would think the information applies to planiceps also a pretty large extent, i cant see them differing much (in terms of care requirements).

Although a very small species, it's quick movements make it an interesting mantis. Out of the 30 I have had, very few losses.

CHEERS!!!
