[QUOTE="Mantis Man13, post: 337778, member: 7131"] So the Brunners stick mantis... I have kept it 5 times now. Each not successful. First of all, they are extremely delicate. Secondly, they don’t eat unless you take tweezers and literally put the fly on its mouth so it tastes it and then it grabs onto it. Then, it dies suddenly for no reason at all sometimes. That is what happened with 3 of my attempts It has bad molts easily. I had one make it all the way to its second to last instar and then on its final molt it had a bad molt even though I had perfect humidity :( . I actually bought an egg case once just so I could have more than one chance to get it started as the hardest part is to get it past the early stages where it dies super duper easy! Anyone have this much trouble with a mantis as much as I have with this? Anyone kept Brunners before and had trouble with it? Despite this, I think it is the coolest mantis with its orange thick antennae, a long slender body, long thin forearms, long cool palpi on its abdomen, bumps on and along its thorax, and cool looking tiny wings when it is an adult. Its a love hate relationship lol. Its just so frustrating. It is my favorite mantis. I had one that was my favorite mantis of all time its name was Teresta. [/QUOTE]
