  1. That is the mass produced S. rosea clone that we nick-named "the lettuce clone" here in the US. It's been distributed throughout the globe, and grows much like a weed. In vitro, this clone mutated and gave rise to S. smurf.

      

    Looks like a Purpurea

    Hang on a minute,

    I looked google images and it came up with nothing like my plant

    Tenodera sinensis i think.

    i remember throwing the ootheca's in the bin thinking that they had been laid and were infertile.came home from the pub a few days later and thought i was seeing things as the whole house was covered in a few thousand tiny mantids then remembered i hadnt emptied the bin.looked in the bin and they had all hatched

    That taught you not to throw ootheca's in the bin.

    What did you do to them all?

  3. I had a pet one that lived in the greenhouse (it could leave at anytime but I fed it on occasion), it was an albino, which was why when I devastatingly found it dead on a bench I preserved it in a jar with a native stick insect that also lived in the greenhouse, they seem to like the citrus tree's near the greenhouse, in particular the stick insect that live on bottle brush tree's and lemonade tree's.

    do you have any pics of it??
