Oh wow, just ckecked on my dads recently matured one and it looks 100% like ur whalbergiis, and he has bright blue eyes! its amazing, ive omly ever seen them go purple b4
Mate, the pattern does not matter. Have you not listened to anything me or Christain have rabbeted on aboutWell my one has the same warning pattern asur ocealata, and the shield looks similar but not the same but the spikes look like a whlabergii!Just what is the pooint of people bringing identicle species to culture, oh and entomoly-GIST lol
Thanks Kruszakus. yeah a nice small species they are, although small in size, they can handle large prey. Based on what i have seen, Pseudocreobotra sp. is as agressive as the Creoboter sp.Sweet pictures Yen! I did not expect them to be this big... for a small species.Mine are small and black as ashes, but soon...
They are not as agressive as C. Elongata? I reckon they cannot tackle a 20-25 milimeters cricket?
They look alike but really a different species, although in the same genus. Now if people start to interbreed PW and PO then that will be bad and confusing.Well my one has the same warning pattern asur ocealata, and the shield looks similar but not the same but the spikes look like a whlabergii!Just what is the pooint of people bringing identicle species to culture, oh and entomoly-GIST lol
Heh heh heh......sorry!Gez... i was sick for a few days and this spiny flower issue exploded into such confusion! :blink: and got dragged into this by asdsdf comments. See what you have done Morpheus I think asdsdf is a little too excited with his P. Ocellata and misunderstood what i told him as "rule" to apply :lol: . If i misled you in anyway Jasper i'm sorry but they are "generally" true especially compare to P. Wahlbergii but not the keys for ID.
Hmmm....I never had any troubles feeding them. Like Yen said, they seem to be molting. How old are they?I don't know - the one with the most swollen abdomen is still up for a D. Hydei from time to time, but the rest just does not want to eat - whitch is strange, very strange - because my friend has twelve mantids from the same ooth, and they still eat... damn it! Why these mantids must be so troublesome?!
10 year old nymphs may be molting. The usually molt pretty often during their earlier days. I have two Nigerian Flower Mantises, they didn't eat a lot when they were little. Only ate probably one tiny melanogaster fly every two days. However, when I shined a really bright light, (those emergnecy 5 LED lights) on them, they would eat more. Maybe it was like their natural habitat, where it was very bright???? Dunno, just something I noticed. Now, when older, they eat more often. I guess you could give it a try. <_<They are about ten days old, maybe even a little bit more.
I used a really bright one. You know, the ones that have warning labels not to shine in the eyes? Anyways, how many do you have? Just dump a whole bunch of melanogaster inside, and if they are hungry, they may eat one. (Just my opinion.)But they have a very bright light - my lamp is only 25 cm above their shelf, it's bright as heck.Guess I should have bought at least ten of them...
PICTURE PICTURE PICTURE!!!!!! :lol: :lol:Oh wow, just ckecked on my dads recently matured one and it looks 100% like ur whalbergiis, and he has bright blue eyes! its amazing, ive omly ever seen them go purple b4
Don't worry! I hated my Nigerians, and now I like them. (Yes, the had skinngy little abdomens) Just dump a whole bunch and let them be. If they are starving, the'll just eat one to keep them alive. You'll like them when they are older.I use 11V - gives very bright, cold light - each shelf looks very aesthetic this way I did it, they did not want to hunt, I gave only one, they did not want to, I tried feeding from a needle - you know the answer to that... what a troublesome little *******s, I knew I should have taken B. Mendica or C. Elongata instead!
