Take it we got the issue fixed? AWESOME pics. Those grasshoppers are just strange.

 
Welcome Scott!

Are those Hierodula really that nice looking?

they sure are..no edited colour.very pretty,and very rare.every one wants em and no one can get em.for some reason graham dont sale em much so theres a big demand for em.as far as im aware im the only guy trying to breed them on the forums.i say try because last time i was unsuccessful..i only had 1 ooth laid then the female died and the ooth didnt hatch.those where the days when i feed crickets..over a year now i only feed my mantids bluebottle flies and fruit flies.So im hoping i have more success.female has laid an ooth about 3 weeks ago so fingers crossed.
