[QUOTE="happy1892, post: 287535, member: 5913"] Okay. Do you have a big enough stable colony of dubias with nymphs of all ages? Sphodromantises are nice, though they can be scary if you have an aggressive individual, particularly if it is an adult female, that is if you are planning on handling them. jk (trivial matter :D ). Hierodula maybe good also? Pnigomantis medioconstricta are cool, and get big. Rhombodera good, too, with the dubias I think. Deacon, what type of mantises do you think are pretty, or the ones you like? Do you have any intermediary things, like Blue bottle flies to feed them when they are kind of young but too large to eat D. hydei? When they are younger, they might not be that aggressive or observant enough to attempt to eat a small enough sized, slow moving dubia nymph. I thought dubias were fast enough to get the attention of most mantids though. [/QUOTE]
