Giant devils orchid mantis your on about also know as a pain in the ass to mantid keepers..needs high heat..a heat lamp..grows as big as the gaitn asain and eats a stick diet of flys...u can emgin how mnay flys he would ned to eat in day..i could go on and on about the down falls to thias mantis..the look of it made me want me to buy it even when i saw the price at 30£ per numpth it didnt bother me..until i dont some reserch on the mantis forum..after reading the info i changed my mind..mayby one for the summer when im a bit better at this..oh 1 thing that is good with this speicies..u can put them toghther and as long as theres food all the time they dont eat each other..
