How many did you get? I have a mated female busily depositing ooths. B) When the first hatches it will be my 3rd generation with them.

Are you sure about the 40-50? I've never had or heard of one hatching any much more than 30, and that is rare. The mostly hatch 15-25.

[SIZE=14pt]ya 20 on the lid and 20-30 in the lower part of the pot I belive, this Ooth is under a inch 3/4", then the 2nd Ooth is about the same, and then the 3rd is 1/2". Ok if you are looking down the Ooth there is the right side and the left side, now there are a 2 rows eggs the whole way down but the it adds a 3rd and a 4th, and it dosen't look like its done hatching yet. Oh and who I got the Ooths from he said he was feeding his female large moths, and that these are the largest Ooths he has produc.[/SIZE]

I thought crpytic mantis was the common name for Sibylia pretiosa?

That name is pointless considering quite a few mantids can be called 'cryptic mantis' use the real name for these Sybilla pretiosa.

[SIZE=14pt]IDK why it would have a common name when its not a commonly keeped mantid in the U.S. .[/SIZE]

So why these Ooths are biger he feed them wild moths and the look x2 in size and are a deeper yellow too, the norm size for the hatch is 20-25 nymphs per Ooth.

I had a hatch of these just a day before yours but mine only hatched 25 nymphs, all in the same day. longest legs i have ever seen on a nymph

[SIZE=14pt]Well thats not even the common name I have seen used like in the UK I have seen them listed as lichen mantids so IDK, but you and I am in the US and then Lemmiwinks is in Colorado like me, but I forgot he was from the Oz so idk.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=14pt]Ya they are cool little long leged buggers, who are you keeping all your nymphs any loss, mine are in with plants so I can only find 30-35 @ a time so I hope they are ok.[/SIZE]

Bassist how many nymphs lived from your last Ooth?

 

[ABbuggin]

I've always known/called them Cryptic mantids, but I have heard lichen.

Actually, no. There is only one mantis popularly known as the "cryptic" mantis, and that is S. pretiosa. It is the only hit that you will get on Google and the only one on our U.K. sister forum's list of common names.

Besides, "criptyc" is easier to spell than "Sybilla". :lol: (Sorry Bassist, I tried, but I couldn't resist!)

Edit: And Andrew, the only mantis I know that is consistently called "lichen" is Liturgusa sp. This is in culture in Germany and is mentioned on Peter's website.
