Praying mantis in the apartment

Community and Forum → Insects breeding → Praying mantis in the apartment

Colleagues, today in the morning a mantis larva was caught in the apartment. Size-8 mm. Apparently, it just hatched, and the ooteka was somewhere in the flower ground (my wife
brought a potted flower from the store three days ago). Can you identify the species?
Unfortunately, this creature is very fast, and I shot it with a tablet. Please do not judge strictly for the quality.

Soon they will eat each other shuffle.gif

Unlike either Mantis or Hierodula.
I think something more interesting, like Iris.
Only Dracus will be able to determine. Zhenya, who is this?
It is necessary to put them in a jar with small twigs and urgently give some drosophylls or sciarids, and if you feed them to each other, then either they will die, or only one female or male will remain.

Well, I won't bother with them: this is beyond my hobbies and capabilities. So far, I've caught a dozen and given them to my son to fight the Egyptian ants that got divorced in his apartment. If they want to survive, let them compete with the antstongue.gif, and there will be benefits...

Damn, listen, give them to me?!

Why would monomoriums feed such splendor?!

You can not only give them away, but also sell them, if you tear them off with your hands. After all, this is clearly some kind of exotic, most likely even absent from the culture (in Russia, for sure). But just think faster, 2-3 days without food and haplyk. And properly organizing feeding is very difficult.

There was a kind soul who was ready to shelter the unfortunate kids... I crawl on the ceiling at 12 am, my wife is dying of laughter and takes a video. Threatens to post this whole circus on YouTube wall.gifCaught 7 or 8 pieces, it's hard to see and they spread around the apartment. During the day, we hung out on the curtains and were relatively well visible. How many of them are still left in colors, corners and curtains-curtains, I don't knowconfused.gif tongue.gif, I don't even know, send them to the balcony at night to reduce activity, so that they don't eat each other, or leave them in the apartment? And suddenly they are tropical and +3 will not survive...

+3 is unlikely.

The easiest way is to take crumpled paper, push it into a container and scatter the animals so that they are less in contact.

Obviously, after such a hunger strike, they will be very attentive to each other...

On this Forum for a long time no longer works PM, in several topics there was this info.

Long ago-this is from what date? It worked last month.

For 2 weeks already, or even more, there are complaints that emails in the personal account do not reach and participants are forced to "burn" their e-mails.

Everything works. I just answered the person directly.

In general, six are alive, four of them immediately got drunk and took drosophila, and two more are somehow sluggish.
Let's see how it all ends smile.gif

Weeks 2 as already, or even more, there are complaints that emails in the personal account do not reach...

It works, but in a strange way - one email arrived, the other was lost.

These are the larvae of Hierodula
