no idea! common names and i don't go well together.....

it's a Pseudogalepsus sp. from Tanzania

 

[Steven]

how big do they get Eddy ?
seems a rather small specie to me, not? :?
but with a very intresting look

Nice pics Eddy...!

Never saw these things before!
Especially the Tarachomantis sp. and Acromantis sp.

Here's one of mine...

[Steven]

a south african specie ?

just a wild guess

 

[heteroscodra]

Nope...this is Acromantis from Malaysia. I got these in Stuttgart a year ago when I wás there and Eddy wasn't...

I bred them too

See?

 

[Steven]

[metallica]

WOW nice looking pics Sjef! the male looks just like mine=D

 

[heteroscodra]

Damn you...it ÍS your male!!!!

LoL!

Amazing thread Eddy...incredible pics...Is the mantid hobby more evolved in Europe? I have never seen more than just the basic green/tan looking ones here (US).

Keep up the excellent photography and breeding projects.

Hi!
I'm from Germany and the Acromantis mentioned above was bread by me. I've been breeding mantids for five years now. I only posted once in a thread about Pseudogalepsus.

This whole "thing" you guys all have going here is MIND BLOWING!!! I had NO IDEA there was this whole "underground" (quite literallY) world of people who COLLECTED insects (!) LET ALONE considered them as "pets"... I know, I tend to get a bit excited -

Anyways--what an amazing collection of ultra superior photos! You ought to be published! I'm totally impressed!

Your photos are BEYOND amazing! I'm even more in love with mantids, now I only have Chinese mantids, but hopefully I'll get some of those prettier ones, soon, too!

They are beautiful

These are so beautiful. When Elizabeth fell in love with spiders I started noticing other creatures I'd always ignored and learned that they don't need fur or feathers to be beautiful. In the process I fell madly in love with mantids but I have only one mature male H. grandis (at least that is what I think it is)
