[randyardvark]

Thailand Green Mantids (Hierodula sp.) has any body kept these?

i was wondering what requirements they needed, and maybe a full latin name, info for them seems non existant... :roll:

bugsdirectuk.com advertises them, since they don't answer e mails i'm not sure if they are real, but you might try there and look for care sheets

Hi.

Just keep them like membranacea at 25-30° C and about 20° at night and spray every evening. It may be also a Rhombodera or Camelomantis species, genera closely related to Hierodula. The reqirements should be the same.

Regards,

Christian

Hi Randy,

There are many Hierodula species around South East Asia... HIerodula Patellifera is pretty common and would be my guess.

Anyway, keep the species just like any rain forest/tropica species, warm and humid and you should do alright!

All the best.
