Things you do for hobby... Well did some Plistospilota guineensis pairing attempt. She suddenly grabbed my finger (it was quite surprising maybe she felt uncomfortable having male on her back) when moving the lid with this pair to a different location. Immediately she started chewing on my finger. To ensure she stay calm I held so the male had easier time to connect. Well he did it very fast (fortunately for me 😅). A bit painful experience but totally worth it this time.
--------------------------------------------------
Čo človek nespraví pre chov... Ďalší pokus o párenie Plistospilota guineensis. Tentoraz pri presúvaní veka s párom mi samica nečakane schmatla prst (asi ju vyrušoval samec na jej chrbte zavesený, bolo to ozaj bleskové) a začala ho hrýzť. Keďže som chcela, aby samec ostal v bezpečí a samica bola kľudná, tak som vydržala, kým sa samec nespojí, avšak prst to trochu odniesol. Našťastie bol samec šikovný a spojil sa rýchlo (výhoda pre mňa 😅). Napriek bolestivej skúsenosti to za to tentoraz stálo.

Tarachodula pantherina cuteness overload. One of our most favourite species. You can tell why 🥰 ------------------------------------ Tarachodula pantherina sú zlatíčka a jeden z našich najobľúbenejších druhov. Asi netreba vysvetľovať prečo

Omomantis 'dance'

Omomantis zebrata dance 😁. In fact this is defense behaviour. Meanwhile some nymphs hatched today. ------------------ 'Tanec' Omomantis zebrata 😁. V skutočnosti sa jedná o defenzívne správanie. Dnes sa taktiež vyliahli aj nymfy tohto druhu.

Curly winged flies Musca domestica. During all that last years of keeping mantids this is still one of our favourite source of food for various species in smaller instars and species focused on flies or other flying insects that we keep culturing. These are genetically modified, although their wings are fully developed they are curled upwards and they can't really fly. Their typical way of faster moving is jumping instead of flying. Sounds great doesn't it? Very easy manipulation and low risk of overpolluting your home with tiny annoying buzzing-around insects. We will probably offer them again on upcoming Ziva Exotika event in Prague for local pick-up. Suitable also for small frogs, lizards, other insects, spiders etc... ------------------------------------ Počas posledných rokov chovu modliviek predstavujú domáce muchy Musca domestica 'curly wing' natrvalo velmi obľúbený zdroj potravy pre mnohé druhy modliviek v menších zvlekoch v našom chove. Ich genetická mutácia spôsobuje stláčanie resp. ohýbanie krídel dohora, čo znemožňuje schopnosť lietať, aj napriek tomu, že krídla sú plne vyvinuté. Tým pádom je ich pohyb prevažne skákanie, nakoľko lietať nedokážu. To znie skvelo nie? Manipulácia je jednoduchá a nestane sa vám l, že si príbytok zamoríte otravným lietajúcim hmyzom. Najskôr budú zase dostupné pre osobný odber na nasledujúcej akcii Živá exotika Praha. Vhodné na skrm pre žabky, malé plazy, iný hmyz, pavúky a iné ...

Hierodula majuscula threat display

Hierodula majuscula adult male threat display - showing his intensive colors of inner parts of his raptorial legs and making sounds with his wings. This behaviour is used amongst various species to scare away potentional danger that can harm mantis (better quality - choose HD option). ------------------------------------------ Dospelý samec Hierodula majuscula vo výstražnej póze ukazujúci pestré sfarbenie vnútornej strany oboch lapacích nôh. Zvuky, ktoré vydáva za pomoci svojich krídel pridávajú na efekte. Toto správanie používajú rozličné druhy v ohrození na odstrašenie prípadného nepriateľa, ktorý by mohol samotnú modlivku ohroziť (pre lepšiu kvalitu zvoľte HD možnosť).

Majuscula male

Just look how fast they strike their prey. Gladly they are not bigger than humans or we would just end very badly. Maybe you remember the scenes from Starship troopers movie? Oh yes :D --------------------------- Pri pohlade na spôsob, akým sa zmocnia koristi môžeme byť radi, že nás veľkosťou neprevyšujú. Možno si niekto rozpamätá na scénky z filmu Hviezdna pechota ... nie vďaka :D
