Yeah I have Rob09mantis. Both in Singapore and in Malaysia. It's easier to spot the hungrier ones because they'd move down to bushes where it will be easier to spot them.

This is a photo of our male adult Stenotoxodera porioni.

Current species:
Acromantis sp. IGM 181, Caliris elegans, Creobroter sp. IGM 174, Deroplatys desiccata, Deroplatys lobata IGM 186, Deroplatys trigonodera, Deroplatys truncata, Gongylus gongylodes, Hestiasula brunneriana, Hierodula sp., Hymenopus coronatus IGM 187, Odontomantis sp. IGM 188, Phyllocrania paradoxa, Statilia sp. IGM 189, Theopropus elegans IGM 175, Toxodera beieri

Hey Hayden. I think the best chance of getting the culture going would be where I am, i.e. in South East Asia first. The climate here in Singapore is almost similar to where they come from. So that rules out the temperature/humidity issue.

If and when we get the culture going, we'll definitely let our international friends try and keep them and possibly establish cultures across the world.

Current species:
Acromantis sp. IGM 181, Caliris elegans, Creobroter sp. IGM 174, Deroplatys desiccata, Deroplatys lobata IGM 186, Deroplatys trigonodera, Deroplatys truncata, Gongylus gongylodes, Hestiasula brunneriana, Hierodula sp., Hymenopus coronatus IGM 187, Odontomantis sp. IGM 188, Phyllocrania paradoxa, Statilia sp. IGM 189, Theopropus elegans IGM 175, Toxodera beieri

T. elegans can be found in Singapore. Refer to this article. Just for added info, here's a photo of the host plant where T. elegans and H. coronatus can be found in the wild.

I'm taking my guess on this as chromolaena odorata, found this in a very boring book I'm reading now
