I am so sorry! That hurts so deeply! I have new baby Hierodula Xishaensis. Would you like afew? Pm if so. Maybe a new baby would help take away some of the hurt.

 
06.22.15: Idolo "Twitch" decided to molt dangerously close to the edge of her container, a moronic decision that just cost her life. despite all the rubberized liners,mesh, and rough surfaced sticks. There was no saving her.

Great start to my day off.
Im so sorry man :( like i said in the email, if im able to breed, youll be getting nymphs or an ooth for sure. But for now at least you have Crowley.

Your ooth finally hatched out? If you wouldn't mind, sure!

Delta was just as sweet as my Echo was, so I'd enjoy another go on Hiero x. I believe I have a different Hierodula inbound as well. (acquiring through a trade...)

If you need my address again just Pm me, also let me know what you'd like for it/them.

Yeah... That's the truth, I knew it was bad news when I seen how close to the tanks surface she was molting at.. I was fortunate that Brownie pulled it off.

 
Patellifera are great! I had one that lived to be 1 year old. Is that unusual?

They have great personalities and are true Hierodula. Patty took one look at her man and BAM! She grabbed him and killed him before I could intervene! I hope Lame yours turn out to be like my Patty.

 
Sorry to hear about Twitch, what a shame. I know you have been looking forward to Idolos for awhile now, wishing you the best for Crowley.

True, and thanks bud... But now Crowley will get more special attention, id hate for this to happen to both of them. Honestly though... Ive still got my sights on the megamantis. ;)

06.25.15: My 2nd female Griffin (Ivy.) is undergoing her final leap. All has gone well so far and she's managed to flip around. Wing development currently in process :)

She's managed to keep her vivid green color so far, but can't be certain until she's fully dried. I will post a photo of her in a day or two. :)

- just awaiting the male to catch up to his ladies, I WILL be breeding the griffin mantis.

06.25.15: Made a trading with another forum member, sending off Gump's brother to forum member "Mantis Monarch" I received my package containing what I thought was just my half of the trade.. Upon opening I quickly realized Monarch had sent alot more than just my new Hierodula, generously sending a double pair of budwings! ^_^

Heres the Hierodula patellifera.



And one of the female budwings.
