Aye. Budwings are a good hardy arid species to keep. First mantis I bought was a Budwing which turned out to be a male and I still have him at the moment. Their very hard to get in Ireland so I was on the look out for a female and couldnt pair him up. Feel kind of sorry for him. I got five L2 nymphs from a girl in Germany. So hopefully il have some ooths for next year.
