Congratulations for a beautiful adult male! :flowers:

I hope that he will be more keen on mating than some of those stubborn Hierodula multispina males. ;)

 
Hey Albert, Whenever I take out my majs to hold and feed, they are very skittish. Are yours very skittish too? (And anybody else who has majs) ....for being an adult mantis, I've never seen one run so fast up my arm onto my face :p

They look pretty solid to me Andrew...

Dec 23rd I woke up last night at 3:00am .... just to take a look . i knew on of the female will molt .. and saw her on the ground .... i and i can tell she just came out still all soft ... I quickly put her back on the lid lucky she got her 4 leg back and even her wing .... but i was unable to save her 2 front arm .

My L6 babies are absolutely terrified of me Andrew. Can't believe it. They run so fast too, I reach some fingers into their cup to take them out to feed or transfer to a new cup and they run all the way up my arm before I can do anything

 
OMG is crazy they all felt like Molting today .. 3 Hierodula majuscula female molted in same day ... When they dry up i'll see if i can take a shop Size Difference .

 
Dec 24th Scary morning ...... looks like she was gonna Mismolt shes so big her head almost hit the bottom of 2liter container i was worried but the last pic show she made it to the top and was a success ..

2L? I must be overdoing it a little lol. I keep my big species in 10-20 L. Much too large for my griffins right now, but they outgrew their previous home so I put them in there to stay until adult.

you can tell me about space when u have over 50 8cm plus adult mantis...and u ganna tell me you will have 20liter container for each adult.... lol 2liter is big enought for them to live in might not be big enough for them to run around but sure is oka size for.an adult....if i only have 1 mantis sure i.ll put.him in a nice 10gl tank.or even 20gl.....but not when u have so many adult . Is too early for u to feel what i.m doing .. u.ll understand after few month ..
