1) You have all of the skills, now, to raise these guys. I usually put sphagnum moss in the pots for these guys. The high humidity that the moss supports helps eliminate mismoults. Also, like any other flower mantis, I only feed them flying insects.

2) I thought that you were selling up all of yr mantids. Glad to see that I was mistaken! I always enjoy yr posts!

Just start them out with D. melanogaster, as they're very small nymphs at birth, and away you go! Best of luck with them... they're a really cute species.

well the thing is, they was shipped on the 30 november from the US when i wanted mantids and i just got them this morning. i've always wanted this species.. my plan is to sell up all my mantids but these guys and get a nice tank sorted out with live plants even if i had no mantids, i'd still post!

what temp/humditiy should i keep them at?
