Here is what I have to deal with for quite a while... keeping them separated ain't gonna work with this lot.

About 100 Idolomantis L1.

These are my favorite...

There's two heads...

And now it's only one! Where did the other one go? :p

This male is greener that the female...

I'm gonna take out some Phyllocrania and take more pics right now - natural light will make it look better. For obvious reasons, I cannot do the same with Idolomantis.

 
Here we go...

There's one greenish male...

Those are some great pics. LOL at getting jiggy.

 
Nice pics! Hope that you are successful with the Idolos..... (you better be with nearly 100 of them lol :p )

Did you buy an idolo ooth, or did you buy nymphs?

 
Dont know why but your ghost pics have finally made me want to get them again :D

 
Actually, Idolos ain't mine - I'm just looking after them while their owner is looking for Hymenopus ooths in Borneo. But I still get to keep some nymphs. I have to set up a bunch of enclosures pretty fast.

They are quite impressive - they can actually tackle green bottle flies, but it's better to feed them D. hydei instead - they die from stress easily.

Phyllocrania are pretty awesome too - I have 16 females and 14 males - they look immense when they gather around the heat lamp...

Leviathan - I have like 14 cultures. And I might have to use'em all if more Idolomantis nymphs hatch - there are still like three ooths.

Today another Idolomantis ooth hathed - now I have like 180-200 nymphs - I wish I could count them all, but it's too much of a hassle.

 
Oh yeah? You think it's so easy, smarty pants? :p

Cuz today another ooth hatched and now I have to procure new lamps and enclosures - this species is giving me a headache!

Oh - and first Phyllocrania female moled into sub-adult yesterday - she looks really green, and impressive :)
