biggest mantid

[Justin]

What is a huge species of exotic mantid kept in captivity? and what is the goliath bird eating tarantula and peruvian giant centipede of mantids? thanks. Justin.

re

i think it may be the malaysian dead leaf mantid, i've been looking into getting some mantids this summer or spring, weird now that i see some others intrested too, pretty cool, i want to get flower mantids really bad, but i need to know how to breed them, don't wanna blow money then wind up with nothing when they die of old age--Jeff

the malaysian dead leaf mantid isn't the biggest mantis, it's the Giant Malaysian Mantis (Hierodula Trimaculata). you can only buy in the UK.
