Looking for Stick Insects/Leaf Insects/Praying Mantis

[tchengj]

Would very much appreciate if anyone could point me to a vendor. I am thinking of buying a lot of them. So far I have been quoted quite expensive for some praying mantis and was wondering if thats the market price. Thanks

Hi, you dont need to buy too many. Give couple of them a large housing ( they moult often ) and fresh leaves every 2 days, they will mature fast and reproduce.

They need guava leaves or jackfruit leaves or murberry leaves ( this is more difficult to get ).

If you are near the west, i can tell you where to find jackfruit trees.

hope this helps,

mike
