Mantids
The praying
mantis are the most beautiful insects to observe. They can see movements
very well and are able to turn the head to watch, they are the only insects
able to do that.
Females often
eat the males, and in captivity it's important to care about this when
we put them together for mating.
The different
species I kept:
Sphodromantis
lineola
Tenodera aridifolia sinensis
Creoboter pictipennis
