I saw some photos of orchid mantids that mikhail posted on another site. I wasn't aware that there were so many types of mantids. I'm interested in getting some but want to read up and research everything before hand. Seem like such cool little things. From what I read on here is they're related to cockroaches, which is cool to me. I currently have two species of roaches I'm raising and have had two other species already. I'm currently in Central Texas so if anyone local has some extras let me know.
