If you looks really closly, you can see a plant in the background. |

have you got loads of them?
Still got another 20 eggs to go .
what will you do with them? do they get big? i know nothing about them..
I'm expecting some die-off as the colony grows but am hoping for an optomistic 30% survival rate. They will quite happily stay put on sprigs of bramble or rose kept in a vase once adult but if my mystery project goes ahead (mums the word Ant23uk ) then they will be in a flexarium or something similar. They grow to somewhere between palm and hand sized so fairly large critters. I like big bugs but mainly because they freak Jo out |

Orchid mantids are pretty cool. The only thing that puts me off them is the problems that they can have during shedding. |

i like the ones that look like orchids :D
my eldest wanted stick insects a few years ago, then he went and actually saw them but they kinda freaked him out so he ended up with GALS lol |

Cheers Guys. They will, hopefully get a lot bigger than that.

There are some weird ones out there. I used to keep Giant Australian *****ly stick insects, Extatasoma sp, and they look dead weird . |
