Hello from Scotland

[Crab Man]

Hi Guys
Name's Martin. Spent a few years keeping mantids, but had to seize it due to moving to the UK from Denmark (my home country).
Had successful breeding with a few species including Gongylus Gongylodes, Phyllocrania Paradoxa, Sphodromantis Gastrica, Heterochaeta Strachani and a couple of Hierodula sp.
Was part of a great wee community over there exchanging breeding specimens too keep inbreeding at bay.
Would love to get into it all again to some extent, so just putting my feelers out to see what's happening - anyone from Scotland feel free to get in touch
Cheers

Welcome to the forum, Martin

As for mantid keepers, shimmy on over to the spiders/inverts section!

We only have one mantid (S. Lineola), but she's mated (her mate passed away a few weeks after the pairing) and laid her first ooth about 2 weeks ago

Hello fellow Scotland dweller....

I'm in Fife, but not a mantid keeper I'm afraid. I know there are defo some fellow Scottish keepers knocking about in the Invert section though.
