ive never had a rhombodera yet but i want one badly, some day i dont want to have too many mantods at once because then each one wont get as much attention! i have 12 right nowI love orchids and idolos!
I've also seen pics of Prohierodula picta which has an interesting diematic display.
Out of the ones I've kept, I love my Rhomboderas. They are large, interactive, and have great personalities. Plus, there is something about their faces that is so endearing. I find myself handling them the most often and they are extremely friendly (well, to me at least ). I love freaking people out by sticking my finger in between their raptorials. I know they would not pinch me.
i just got 3 deroplatys lobata nymphs from aryia, theyre freakin adorable, theyre at l2 now, one just molted to l3 an hour ago, cant wait to see them all grown upDeroplatys lobata! They're awesome looking mantids that I'd love to raise some day.
Between the two species I have now, my Mantis religiosa girl loves chilling on my hand and doesn't mind being handled at all.
completely agree,i love emT.S. Big, beautiful, outrageously intelligent, personable, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.
need some of this genus some day! its the first mantid ive ever seen online, and id never seen a wild one, though i will this year, tons of tenodera sinensis oothecae by my house!I love the hierodula family most. They are so smart!
awesome!!Tenodera, look at those eyes!!!

id love to have one some dayRhombodera stalii Classic, powerful mantis with a handsome shield, always green as an adult and with few issues in rearing.
ive had a couple, theyre really sweet and gentle, and adorable, and awesome, gotta love themI have to say I really do quite enjoy working with ghost mantises. They're communal and while there is a size difference between the sexes it isn't as drastic as other speciesl. Their appearance is relatively unique even amongst other mantises and excellent aesthetically. They also pose quite exquistely naturally meaning I can just let them be without having to agitate them. Best of all they are easy to feed and ejoyable to raise.
