Now it´s my turn

Time to formally itroduce myself

I am a 26 year old girl living in Iceland since I was a 6 moths old.

I am actually from New Zealand so I am very interested in getting the New Zealand Mantis someday

My job is making pizzas and that is pretty good.

I will have a Chinese Praying Mantis from the first successful hatch that I know has happened here. I will get them hopefully tonight or tomorrow, the breeder lives in another town and we have been unable to meet him for more than 2 or 3 weeks, he is never home when we go there but I should get them tonight or tomorrow. They will have had their 3rd or 4th molt when I get them. Will get 4 but maby my friend will have 1 or 2.

I am interested in all insects but I like Mantises and Stick insects most. I also like to photograp insects and just look at them.

I am lucky that my other half also likes most insects so this is a hobby we can do together.

So that´s me will post pictures when my mantises arrive.

Hello Rebecca from Iceland! I hope you get your Chinese nymphs soon. I know many consider them boring because they are not "exotic," and are commonly found in many places now in the world... but I still like them! Welcome aboard!

Thanks everybody , yes I was going to wait to introduce myself until I got my mantises but then it took so long that I just started chatting forgetting about this. And haha Normal Mantises ARE exotic here :lol: only because they are the only species here yet. and you have to start somewhere so I am very excited about them. And tonight I got them! yay! They look just great, will tell you more about them on the forum.

Hello from Australia, New Zealand's bigger bro

Glad you like the New Zealand Mantid (O. novozealandia). I found one the other day actually. Very cool species.

 

[Eldur]

Wowl really?! That is so amazing, that you could just find one outside

 

[jameslongo]

I gave it to Superfreak a.k.a. Olga (maya luborf) cos she likes them. I'll get her to put a couple of pics up for you

It's not uncommon for me to wander in my backyard and stumble upon a mantid. I'm guessing that it is a bit rarer in Iceland
