after more than 2 years of preparations , the diatombase portal is now officially launched . . . .

last week - on may 30 and 31st – 8 thematic experts on talitridae came together for the first time during a lifewatch - worms sponsored workshop . the workshop took place at the hellenic centre for marine research in crete , where it was organized back - to - back with the 8th international sandy beaches symposium ( isbs ) . the group focused on identifying relevant traits for the talitridae , and adding this data through the amphipoda species database . . . .

on 23 april 2018 , a number of editors of the world register of introduced species ( wrims ) started a three day workshop in the flanders marine institute ( vliz ) . these three days were used to evaluate , complete and improve the content of this worms thematic register ( tsd ) . . . .

the 2nd worms early career researchers and 3rd worms achievement award were granted respectively to françois le coze and geoff read . congratulations ! . . .

in 2018 , to celebrate a decade of worms ' existence , it was decided to compile a list of our top marine species , both for 2017 and for the previous decade . . . .

the scleractinian corals are now accessible though their own list portal . this world list contains over 1 500 accepted names of extant species and is one of the most complete existing resources for scleractinian taxa . . .

the symbols k . a . c . f . m . an . are used to indicate the geographical range of the species . they have been adopted to give an approxomation of the range of each species within new zealand .

north and south islands . low tide , on rocks and shells in exposed rock pools

note : localities are approximate , and represent only some of the known localities for the species .

distinguishing characteristics an endemic limpet of new zealand and is quite variable in shell shape and colour pattern .

distribution found in the low tide zone attached to smooth rocks and other shells in sheltered positions ( eg . tide pools ) on open coasts throughout new zealand .

the dead leaf mantis , or deroplatys desiccata , is a large mantis from malaysia that is camouflaged as a dead leaf . it looks amazing ! they are not very easy to keep and breed , but it is definately possible .

deroplatys desiccata is not very aggressive to members of its species , but it is better not to house them together in one enclosure . sooner or later cannibalism will happen . until l4 ( fourth instar ) the nymphs can be kept together when fed constantly .

i have noticed that deroplatys do well when given large prey items more infrequently , rather than a myriad of small prey many times a week . ( frogparty )

they are slightly smaller than the deroplatys desiccata . males grow up to 5 cm long and females grow up to 9 cm long . males are very skinny in comparison to the females and they are very capable of flight so take care not to lose them . after the 2nd molt , 8 segments can be counted on the males abdomen while 6 on the females . and the females prothorax shield is more cryptic and wavy whereas the males’ are diamond - shaped .

i have been keeping deroplatys , or dead leaf mantids for years , and they are clearly one of the masters of disguise . they have camouflage down to a science . i love looking at the intricate leaf patterns on the adults wings . they mimic dead leaves perfectly , especially the females .

breeding dead leaf mantids is generally simple . i have had some casualties in the past , but i have come to learn that waiting 3 weeks instead of 2 before introducing the male and female greatly reduces the chance of cannibalism . all in all , i would recommend this species to anyone . they are just too cool to pass up . the pics below are of d . desiccata and d . lobata .

this cryptic mantis lives to mimic dead leaves hence the name . i consider them to be one of the most beautiful mantids out there . their coloring ranges from dark gray to light mottled gray . they also possess a broad prothorax that looks ripped and crumpled like a leaf . d . lobata shield looks different from d . desiccata , but still serves the same purpose . when threatened , they will unfurl their wings to display their bright colorings . but nymphs will freeze and throw themselves to the ground with all legs folded to look like a dead leaf .

each tol leaf page provides a synopsis of the characteristics of a group of organisms representing a leaf at the tip of the tree of life . the major distinction between a leaf and a branch of the tree of life is that a leaf cannot generally be further subdivided into subgroups representing distinct genetic lineages .

for a more detailed explanation of the different tol page types , have a look at the structure of the tree of life page .

this spinney looking fellow is camouflaged to mimic decaying , crumpled leaves . the colours range from a mottled brown , pale orangey brown through to an almost black . size depends on species and sex , but range from 75 - 85mm in size . females are substantially larger and heavier then males .

if you disturb them , they will gently rock as if they have been caught in the breeze . and if they feel threatened , they will throw them selves to the ground , lying motionless on the floor .

malaysia . all of these species can be found here as well as borneo , indonesia and sumatra . being hot countries , you should keep the temperature at about 25 - 30c with a humidity in the region of 70 - 80 % . this is slightly warmer and more humid than other species of mantids are normally kept .

ish ! ! ! these mantids may look fragile , but are a relatively hardy species . please be aware that if the humidity is not right , the mantis can have problems shedding . they can have difficulty in discarding the old skin and become tangled and crippled in the old one ( especially when young ) . to help prevent this from happening , spray the cage every few days with a fine mister .

the cage should have a reasonably sized floor area , covered in dead leaves . a thick branch or stem should be provided for him / her to hang off .

dead leaf mantids can be kept together . i never thought these could be keep together apart from very young , but i have been proven wrong . if ample food and space is provided then they live very happily together . even when they do become hungry they would prefer to hunt for live foods on the ground instead of attaching each other .

the adults ( both sexes ) can live together too . it ' s best i think , to pair a male up with two females , incase there are any fights between the males .

do your research before you commit to buying any pet , please do your own independent research .

the ideal temperature is about 26 ° c , but keeping them warmer is also good to about 35 ° c . do not keep them cooler than 22 ° c . at night you can allow the temperature to drop until 18 ° c . this species likes a slightly higher humidity , so it is important to spray water reguarly . a target humidity is about 50 to 80 % . keep the enclosure well ventilated . as with all species of praying mantis , the enclosure needs to be at least 3 times the length of the animal is height , and at least 2x the length of the animal in width . for an adult female this means the enclosure has to be at least 27 cm in height and 18 cm in width . a nice size for a terrarium would be 30 x 20 x 30 cm or bigger , so there is room for perches and decoration such as dead leaves .

when adult , the differences between males and females are not to be missed . the male is long and slender , while the female is broad and bulky . she has a huge shield on the prothorax , while the male has a small shield . for nymphs you can use the sexing method of counting the number of segments on the abdomen , as described here . approximately 2 to 4 weeks after both partners reach adulthood , a mating attempt can be made . make sure that the female has eaten a lot in the days before the mating attempt . the female can be quite aggressive to the male , so if you see excessive aggression you have to remove the male and try again later . try to minimize disturbance . mating can take several hours , when the male leaves the back of the female he must be removed from the enclosure to keep him alive .

the adult molt can be dangerous for the gigantic female if the container is too small or there are sticks in the way . ( orin )

deadleaf mantids are hearty feeders but rarely attack others of the same size . ( orin )

while dessicata will absolutely use vertical space in a terrarium , they can often be found mere inches above the substrate , resting face down on branches waiting for prey to come near . truly exceptional camouflage helps them to disappear amongst dead leaves and bark . ( frogparty )

cage furnishings , e . g . molting surfaces , perches , décor , plants , etc .

hatchlings are huge and take the large d . hydei or l1 schultesia readily . ( orin )

prey preference is extremely broad , and flying prey , crickets , roaches etc are all relished greatly . a good varied diet for this species could include dubia roaches , crickets , silkworms , large moths , waxworms . ( frogparty )

the females pronotum is about one and a half times longer than wide with downward pointed sides while the males is rounded . males are nearly as long as females but are less massive . sexual dimorphism is difficult to identify on hatchlings but blatant after a few molts . ( orin )

mating is the only real challenge with this species . the females seldom eat the males but the problem is males rarely show interest and hand mating is realistically impossible . the mating terrarium can include a 60 - watt incandescent light directly over one spot to increase temperature which may help the males become lively . ( orin )

each female normally produces three to five oothecae that are stocky and an inch wide by 3 / 4 to an inch long . females live up to a year following maturity and can be alive when their offspring mature but rarely form good oothecae after the first five months . oothecae contain around 30 - 40 . the gestation period varies greatly under similar conditions so don ' t give up on an ootheca until it has been at least two full months . ( orin )

photos : up to five may be posted at the bottom of the completed template . please limit these photos to no more than one of an ootheca , two of nymphs ( different instars ) , one of an adult female , and one of an adult male .

it’s best to keep these at around 24 - 30 c ( 75 - 86 f ) . a heat mat or heat lamp is may be used to maintain the desired temperature . keep the temperature cooler at night to lengthen the lifespan of the mantis . warmer temperature speeds up the metabolism of the mantis and will shorten its life span and in contrast , cooler temperature slows its metabolism and lengthens the life span , but both extremes could kill it . keep humidity at a constant 70 - 80 % .

their cage should be well ventilated with lots of twigs and leaves for the mantis to perch on . they don’t require much room as they are not active predators , but they do need room to molt . the suggested width and height is usually 3x the length of the mantis . this species is not as vicious as other species and even adults are able to live communally ( both tiny males and females ) , but nevertheless , if you have a small number of nymphs , they should be separated into separate containers after the first molt to remove all chances of cannibalism .

this species has no specific needs , but can be picky , so a varied diet is best . start out with fruit flies for nymphs and move to pinhead crickets for larger nymphs and crickets , mealworms , wax worms , and other larger insects for sub - adult and adults…although adults can be a bit more picky than nymphs . they especially love flying insects like moths . it’s recommended that the size of the feeder insect does not exceed 1 / 3 the mantis length . do not overfeed them , overfeeding will speed up their metabolism and can and will shorten their life span . feed them as much as it will eat in one day and do not feed it for another 2 days . as for watering , this type will get its fluid from its food , but it can sometimes be seen drinking off droplets from the side of the cage so misting the cage every once in a while is best .

select a suitable pair after 2 weeks since their last molt . it would be best to mate the mantids after 3 - 4 weeks instead . 2 weeks may be too soon and the female may not be mature enough to be bred . introduce the female into the males enclosure and leave them alone . this could take hours or days for the male to make his move…although a mature male should mount the female within a couple hours after introduction . or you could feed the female and during her feeding , put a male behind her and if he is ready , he will jump on her back…but this method could be a bit difficult due to the timid nature of the males . after a while of holding on , the male will bend his abdomen down to connect with hers and mating will commence . the male may remain on the female for up to 2 days ( even after copulation ) . afterwards , he will run away and he must be removed or else he might eaten .

about 3 - 4 weeks after mating , the female will make her first ootheca . this species can lay around 4 - 6 oothecae with a period of 4 - 6 weeks in between each ootheca . after 6 weeks of incubation at 30 c ( 86 f ) and 70 - 80 % humidity , as many as 100 large nymphs will hatch out from each ootheca . these can be fed fruit flies a day or two after hatching . then continue to care for them as this care sheet suggests .

i recieved a grapesized ootheca and after 1 week or so of incubation at high humidity , about 100 nymphs hatched out ! the nymphs were surprisingly large for the ootheca that they came out of . after a day or drying out , they started to eat large fruit flies . i think i’ll start to feed them house flies after their next molt , which should come after a week or so after hatching .

the nymphs have been a success . they’ve grown quite large since hatching and they are now subadults . the males have obviously grown faster than females so i must slow down their growth now . they are still living together and only one case of cannibalism have been observed , the rest are content to hang upsidedown with their cage mates . i will try to see if this is a communal species , if not , at least tolerant of each other .

it’s confirmed , this is a communal species . i’ve kept all the nymphs together up until l5 and everything went well . then i separated the males from the females and raised them separately . they are now subadults and one of the males is already a full adult . the females are not far behind !

after the females have matured , i introduced the males into the females’ tank . surprisingly , they are quite docile towards each other . the first mounting took place approximately 1 day after introduction . even after copulation , the male is still attached to the female for another 2 days .

the dead leaf mantis is a large and comparatively long lived mantis species originating from malaysia . they mimic dead leaves and prefer slightly warmer and more humid conditions than many other mantis species .

i have had my praying mantis for three months now . she was a nymph when i got her but she recently had her last molt into adulthood and has beautiful wings . she just layed her eggsac . does anybody know how much longer she has to live once she has layed her eggs ? she still has quite an appetite .

once they deposit an ootheca , their time ' s very limited ( i . e . under four months ) .

the ooth is infertile as well , i think , unless you forgot to mention the presence of an introduced male .

she will probably lay more eggs . . . she may drop between 6 and eight ootheca before it ' s all over . it ' s no too late to find a male !

i captured a female praying mantis the other week , and have been keeping her . she has ate a lot and before she laid , what i guess is eggs , she was very agressive . spreading wings , and attacking every move i made ! ! it was unreal ! the next morning , there was this brown , hard , gooey cocoon looking thing stuck on the side of the cage ( wire ) . it is about the size of a quarter i guess .

is that her eggs ? since i got her from the wild , is it fertile ? if it is , when will they hatch , what do they look like , etc . ? ? i have no idea how to take care of baby mantis ? ! and she has eaten like 5 crickets a night ? !

sounds like eggs to me . they will hatch in a few weeks if kept warm . if you aren ' t ready for them to hatch , you can put it in the refrigerator until you are .

separate them and feed small pinhead crix and / or fruit flies . giv them plenty of ventilation . mist them some too . you don ' t need any substrate but you will want to have a stick , artificial plant leaf etc for them to climb on . i have kept mantids nearly every summer since 1979 . the babys are kinda delicate so expect a few of them to die off .

i got a real good book while back from swift inverts . it ' s called mantids : keeping aliens . it is only $ 10 and has much useful info .

look for the threads carolina mantid and chinese mantid appreciation thread . i posted some mantid pics there .

hey everyone . i just recently ordered a pretty good book on mantids , but withe the recent passing of my mantis friend , i have found myself in need of more immediate answers .

mantids will lay ootheca wether they ' ve mated or not . they won ' t be fertile if they haven ' t mated ( unless it ' s b . borealis ) . i don ' t think it effects their lifespan either way .

most species will lay more than one before death , but there may be exceptions . if it was an adult when collected , it may have already laid several before you found it .

i don ' t know of any way to check the fertility , but if the female was adult when captured there ' s a good chance any oothec would be fertile .

thank you so much ! i also received some good advice from the folks at insectadventures . com , so i think i ' m as prepared as possible for whatever may happen with these ootheca .

i am so sorry to ressurect this thread , but i was just curious . i understand that egg sacs of any kind affect the lifespan of the female mantid . however , let ' s just say - in general - what is the lifespan of a male and female mantid ? ! ! ! ! i just want a rounded number if possible . thanks all .

it has everything to do with what species you have ! i am assuming you have a locally caught species ( e . g .

) , if it is any of these , the females will live an average of 3 more months ( in captivity ) plus or minus a month . the males will live an average of one more month ( in captivity ) plus or minus 3 weeks .

oh - i believe she ' s the chinese variety , small brownish green . . .

seems like this thread is very old so i hope someone still responds . . . i have a preying mantis whom i found with a broken leg , i ' ve had her for over a month now , she has laid an ootheca , after which she continued to eat crickets then , she stopped eating altogether - for about a week , i thought she would die , she seemed very weak . . . . until , today . . . . she ate a moth i offered her . . . any idea what ' s going on with her . . . much appreciated ! oh - i believe she ' s the chinese variety , small brownish green . . .

it sucks that praying mantises ' lives are so short . they would make such great companions if they lived 10 years !

mantids slow right down towards the end . eventually she ' ll just stop eating . they become clumsy and uncoordinated and lose their ability to grip . they lie down on the floor and die . it ' s bloody horrible .

it ' s " bloody horrible " but completely true like basin79 said . at this time of year they are all pretty much doomed no matter what .

before arachnids i specialized in mantids and mid spring to late october is pretty much the standard life for mantids ( meaning the dawn of warmth to the first sign of frost ) . there ' s a decent chance that the ootheca is fertile but unfortunately your mantis has reached the end of its life . the best thing you can do now is try to keep the mother as comfortably as possible til she meets her end and then put the ootheca outside in a safe place so it can " weather " until next spring where you can then watch them hatch and then collect a specimen or two to rear .

i have a wild praying mantis that hangs around my front and back porch . . . it looks like a juvenile to me , looks pretty healthy to me . . . if i wanted to make it offerings what would i give it .

why do praying mantis die after laying their eggs . . . what does not allow them to live for more han one year ?

that ' s simply how their life cycle works . it ' s extremely common , and not just among insects . many animals and plants die after reproducing .

biologists have spent years trying to figure out the exact reason so many creatures do this , and have come up with any number of theories . sometimes the breeding process is simply too destructive to their bodies to live very long afterwards . in other cases it seems that limited resources means that for the offspring to thrive , their parents have to ' get out of the way ' so to speak .

with many small animals though , their odds of long term survival simply aren ' t good enough to build a body that can last very long . all evolution cares about is how many offspring you can produce , and if your time is limited due to predation or approaching winter then evolution will select for the individuals that produce the most eggs in the shortest amount of time , and will do so at the cost of everything else .
