Awesome photos. Where's the farm located? The mantis is Odontomantis planiceps and so is the ooth. Looks hatched though.

Photo #8 is some kind of treehopper not a moth.

Love the Odontomantis planiceps! :wub:

Where's all the vegtables? :lol: Great pic's though!

Hi

Very interesting as usual. The ooth could be an empusid's one. Empusidae, not Empusa ;-) regards

Does look like something in the same family as treehoppers.

Do Empusidae exist in S.E. Asia? I have the same ooth found in the wild, unhatched.

Looks like an Odontomantis sp. ooth to me.

Hi

Yes. For example Gongylus gongylodes in Indonesia.

HiYes. For example Gongylus gongylodes in Indonesia.

Very interesting. Where did you get this info? You know who collected Gongylus gongylodes in Java?

 

[tier]

Hi

I have heard of them living on Java, and Ehrmann points out they are dirtributed on Java.

Ahh, I said only "Indonesia", and you know it is the main island Java which is relevant. So I guess you had this information already before.

Very very interesting, Thanks for sharing this tier. I thought you personally know of anyone who might've recently collected Gongylus gongylodes in Java. If Gongylus gongylodes exist in Singapore, that'll be awesome.

 

[tier]

No, this isn't an ooth of Gongylus, and pretty sure they do not exist in Singapur. Java is special because of its geomorphological history.

The last wild collected Gongylus originated from India or Sri Lanka I think.

That's what I thought. It's interesting though that H. coronatus exist in both Java and Malaysia, despite their physical differences, with the exception of Singapore. I've never come across a record of anyone collecting H. coronatus here even though Singapore is right in between Sumatra, Java, the Malaysian peninsular and Borneo.

Great photos. #2 is really nice.

 

[gadunka888]

thanks everyone!

@ sufistic: according to the '' Threatened Species of Singapore'' book, H. Coronatus is '' Endangered'' due to overuse of pesticides on orchids. The book says its almost extinct. Mantidian says he found an orchid mantis at Bollywood veggies( where i took the pics). The cricket, hawkmoth caterpiller, odontomantis ooths and adult and leafhopper/moth was found near the NIE/NUS area.

@ismart:

Monster Bean( i had a monster bean plant, but it died)

Lunch!

Very interesting... some kind of tube worm? or a piece of macaroni! :lol:

 

[C.way]

beautiful picture, those odontomantis coloration is more beautifully spread than those I caught up north here, those you caught has marble like coloration, mine was rather plain in color

Ooths( ID pls)

Odontomantis sp. ootheca, been wore out by rain exposing only the harder part of the ooth. This is one of the wore out O. planicapes ooth.

This is how it looks right after hatching.
