Gurders Mantis

This site is a working progress, please check back to see the progress that I'm making with my mantids.

I will be updating the species diary and breeding diary regularly along with new pictures being added to currently kept species pages

I am still fascinated by this insect and have been keeping them for nearly 5 years now. I have now been able to breed a couple of species and rear mantids that I have bred myself. This hobby does take up quite a bit of time but so long as I enjoy it this doesn't bother me.
