Where to get mantids?

[mrbonzai211]

I want to get some mantids, especially the one called Pseudocreobotra wahlbergii. Can anyone point me towards a breeder or supplier?

I have legal European and Chinese Mantid nymphs for sale. Contact me if interested.

Though he doesn't have too many species in stock right now, when they do become available, he has a nice selection.

Is there such a thing as a long living mantid? From what I can gather, most only live a year or two.

Nope, not that I know of... A year or two maximum... Pity though, amazing creatures...

that is why you buy them in eggcases.... you can breed your own relativly easily.. and then have your own replenishing colony...
