I was shock to find hatchling in one of the Texas unicorn adult female cage, yeah i am too busy (or lazy :roll: ) to remove the ooth. When checking the cage, i found that the female is dead :cry: but glad the new generation climbing aorund.

Man, that container looks awfully dirty...

This species has recently arrived to Poland, and I have been offered a chance to buy a couple of them...

After seeing these pictures - I think I will buy them.

 
Very nice Yen Saw. Been forever since I've been to the boards. Gorgeous critters you have there.

 
Mainly because I don't think its good enough for a new thread...

I'm into mantids from this year's August, and from what I have heard so far, two years ago you could get only Sphodromantids here in Poland ("Booooooring!").

Now we have plenty of different species, in this is only getting better - especially with such "twiggy" species - they usually look quite cool from first to last instar - some bigger mantids look awful before they reach adulthood (P. Guineensis, T. Sinensis)...

Man, I never have imagined that this could be so fun!
