Some of my old mantids [DUW]
Re: Some of my old mantids [DUW]
Those are all really cool looking!!! I don't know much about mantids could you explain why Idolomantis diabolica was special/exciting to you? Thanks :gj:
Re: Some of my old mantids [DUW]
Thanks!
They're hard to get a hold of, and can't be beat in terms of looks. Many consider them to be tricky to raise although I didn't have those problems.
The adult male in my hand is freshly molted and didn't have any of it's adult color yet.
Some links to photos of fully mature adults (not mine)

A whole bunch of things...basically, other issues kept me from giving them the care they needed and they died off. I custom built a screen cage for them, five feet tall on a 2.5 foot square. I figure I'll give the mantids another go before I decide to put a few chameleons in there. :rolleye2:
