Yes. I went out last fall and collected some tall grass. They loved it! I didnt need a cage for them. The tall grass was home to them. They felt safe in it so they didnt wander.

7/12/17: Heterochaeta have Finally Arrived and Spiny Flowers have Mated!
This week has been a particularly exciting week so far at PanTerra Pets, so much so, it is hard to believe it is only Wednesday!
Yesterday while working remotely, I was able to successfully get my spiny flower male to mount the female, and once the lights went out (8ish hours later?) He finally made the connection! Here is a pic of the two love birds first getting acquainted. ;P
Secondly, I woke up this morning to a bunch of little cat eyes calmly staring out at my from their little deli cup! The are soooooo adorable! My Heterochaeta babies have finally begun to arrive, after a long and nervous wait on my part! Each ooth that has hatched so far hatches more and more babies than the last! And this morning I had the largest hatch yet, 36! I was so excited! They will go on sale next week once I have enough that have molted to L2 safely, so if this is a species you are interested in, keep an eye out for them!

Congratulations on the successful mating of your spiny flower mantises and your mantis hatchings. Certainly sounds like you had an exciting day! The Heterochaeta are so cute!

Very nice and congrats on the successful pairing and hatchlings. I've never had much luck with Pseudocreobotra wahlbergii myself. Still trying to figure out how to squeeze in a few Heterochaeta though, I'll keep watch for them on your site.

You really should get at least one, they are really some of the best "pet" species I've had! I don't think I could ever stop keeping this species.Very nice and congrats on the successful pairing and hatchlings.
Ha, your quite the sales person aren't you.You really should get at least one, they are really some of the best "pet" species I've had! I don't think I could ever stop keeping this species.
I have heard they are that great though, and one reason I want some. MantisRCool
