Those of you who don't own one of these yet, i highly recommend this species, i've just bought a sling from the spider shop and it's increddibly beautiful. Just thought i would say

I'm eyeing up these as well. I was going to order a couple this week, but plumped for a couple of ghost mantids instead.

If they are still listed on pay-day, I'll get some!

Care

The only thing i've managed to find out really is that they are terrestrial, i'll be doing some more research on the species later on tonight though so i'll post the info when and if i find out. I'll try and get a pic also.
