Nice looking bunch! All the best to you. I had to keep changing the cage when keeping this species, they grow so much longer with every molt.

I followed your posts regarding this species.I give them 14 to 15 hours of light.They also need lot of heat and light.

Remarkable creatures! Am I correct in assuming they require small prey even as adults?

I see what you mean.But do not get fooled by their tiny raptorial arms :cowboy: .I am sure they would catch some larger preys(see Theosprotia graminis).

Yes they are capable of holding on to some large prey. I gave this adult female a good size B. lateralis and she had no problem holding to it.

Impressive!!! VERY! Quite jealous of these wonderful mantids. Who provided these? I'd love to get some after Christmas when I have more money .
