The mini mantids

[brancsikia339]

Just wondering if you guys love the cute little mini mantises like i do, such as pachymantis, ephestiatula, hestiatula, bolbe, bolbena and others like them. They are so precious! Anyone keep pachymantis? those happen to be my favorite. Also, do you guys prefer the mini mantids and or the big mantids?

I prefer the big ones but so far thats all I have had except ghosts but they are still small L4

 

[Mime454]

I always liked big mantids.

I keep only wild caughts, and don't pay much attention to size, but some of mine turn out smaller than others and I always think the smaller ones are cuter

small species all the way!!

I was leaning towards larger ones to start off with, but now that I'm think about larger housing im preferring the lil ones

 

[Emckenzie24]

Any pictures ?

 

[brancsikia339]

No, only got large ones right now :/

Big mantids! I feel like it would be hard to feed smaller ones. With big ones, you can catch anything and they'll pretty much eat it.

Whichever are the most aggressive really. But I actually like the "compact" medium ones. Like S. limbata or I. oratoria. They seem to be right in the middle and just right with the occasional large or miniature individual.

Anything that looks cool. :lol:

 

[brancsikia339]

I like the mini mantises cause of the cool colors and their build. For example, Pachymantis bicingulata. Look it up

I agree with you.
