I have another mantis - sphodromantis centralis - I have been bitten by 'the bug' LOL

great, are you intent on breeding them, i bet that would be interesting, what do you feed them on, small crickets?

Hi guys, I am considering getting some more mantids or possibly some peruvian stick insects.

I also like some of the beetles you can buy, the only thing that puts me off is that they spend a long time as larvae.

I am trying to get Paul to take me to a bug show in February :p

i've been thinking of getting some fruit beetles, or larvae. moreso for the purpose of culturing for livefood though rather than a hobby. still wouldn't mind trying out a madagascan moon moth or two though
