Rob mentioned in another thread that this species was bred for the first time in the UK in 2006. How long would it typically take for this mantid species to than make into the hobby on this side of the pond???

[RodG]

[Asa]

Rod, sorry for being ignorant, no i haven't had a chance to keep this species yet. Hopefully it will be available here on day.

Yen, maybe one day an ooth or some nymphs will make it our way. Would

be great to have this species in the hobby over here 8)

 

[Asa]

It just might. One of my ooths has proven dead. But I still have another one.
