As far as I know they are extinct in US.

Rebecca has them here, but you have to ask about availability to be certain. Metamorphosis has L4 nymphs for sell, but they are in the UK so no idea on their shipping. Might also be worth a shot to PM members that had them recently to see if they still have/would sell you what you want - I seen several but the only one that stands out at the moment is Yen_Saw.

Best of luck with your hunt.

I really miss this species, still one of my favorites. I bred them in 2007.

Were they easy to breed? Any specific culture tips that I should keep in mind?

Yes easy to breed, they would pair up with out problem for me. I had 4 generations. Nymphs were easy to keep alive and not many would die off. They were not too picky on food and would chase their food. I'm surprised there are not as many in the hobby any more. I was just thinking the other day how much I miss having them around.
