The 'Ant Dock Station' in combination with the arena makes this much easier.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn addition to the excellent shelter and robust character of the 'Ant Dock Station', you can now also provide your ants with the correct temperature. At the end of the Dock, there is a recess where the 1-meter heating cable fits precisely (optional to order separately). By correctly positioning the heating cable, you can provide the test tube with your ant colony with the correct temperature. Now your ants will be nice and warm, even during the cold periods of the year! With the right temperature, your colony will grow the fastest, and that's what you want!\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Dock where you place the test tube can thus be seen as the nesting area, which is normally underground. Warmed by the sun, protected by the earth, and ventilated for the ants. This is all incorporated into the Dock. The Arena is the above-ground part. In this outdoor living area, which the ants can access via the transport tube, the ants can collect their food (which you place there once a week) and dispose of their waste.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHow cool is it to be able to closely follow the ants' cooperation and the transport through the tube.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis starter set is suitable for all types of ants. Don't have a colony yet? Then you can choose from different types above, including food, and order them at great promotional prices.

The most common color for this species is dark brown, but sometimes green specimens can also be found. This color is determined by the environment; a more humid, greener environment often results in a green animal. P. paradoxa grows to about 5 cm long, with little difference in size between the sexes.

It is a typical sit-and-wait predator. Relying on its camouflage, it patiently waits for unsuspecting prey to pass by. As soon as it spots prey, it strikes lightning fast, and before the prey knows it, it is firmly caught between the raptorial forelegs of this predator. P. paradoxa will rarely actively chase prey, but rather wait for a suitable moment to strike. Sometimes this species of praying mantis is also a bit cautious and shy. A large pair of tweezers or a large hand in the enclosure will cause it to refuse prey. Just wait fifteen minutes and try again, and everything will be fine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFood\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \n\n\u003cp\u003ePhyllocrania paradoxa primarily eats flying insects in the wild.

Just make sure that there are no loose crickets in the enclosure when the praying mantis is molting. An adult P. paradoxa can handle adult crickets, but it is better to give them smaller crickets, e.g., size 6 or 7.

This is achieved by spraying with water about 5 times a week. As with all species of praying mantises, this species needs an enclosure that is at least 3 times the length of the animal in height and at least 2 times the length of the animal in width.

They have striking spines and protrusions on their legs. They are often brown in color, and very occasionally green variants of this species can be found.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhat is striking is the large difference between males and females. Females are thick, spiny, and up to 15 cm long. Males are slender with long wings, few spines, and a length of about 12 to 13 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBehavior\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis type of stick insect exhibits very special behavior. As a defense, females and nymphs mimic a scorpion! By curling their tail upwards, they resemble venomous scorpions. Predators who see this are startled and do not dare to risk attacking a potential scorpion. The harmless stick insect cleverly gets away by bluffing with its tail!\u003cbr\u003e\nFurthermore, this is a calm animal. Since most stick insects are nocturnal, they will not show much movement during the day. In the evening, however, you can see them moving and eating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFood\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis species eats blackberry, raspberry, oak, rose, hazelnut, and eucalyptus leaves.

Ventilation is important. We recommend misting the enclosure about twice a week.\u003cbr\u003e\nAs with all stick insect species, this species needs an enclosure that is at least 3 times the length of the animal in height, and at least 2 times the length of the animal in width. For an adult female, this means at least 45 cm high and 30 cm wide.\u003cbr\u003e\nIf the females become very large and heavy, it becomes difficult for them to climb on glass.

You can keep the males and females together in an enclosure. The eggs are round brown balls.

As most stick insects are nocturnal, they will not show much movement during the day. In the evening, however, you can observe them moving and eating. They cannot bite, scratch, or secrete venom and are easy to handle. They also cannot jump or fly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDiet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis species eats many types of leaves. They are known for eating ivy. They can live on all sorts of ivy and do not require other leaves to be healthy. You can feed them many other leaves, such as blackberry, raspberry, oak, rose, hazelnut, and privet leaves. Blackberry leaves and ivy are always available in winter.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPlants from stores are sprayed with insecticides!

Room temperature is therefore perfectly fine for these animals.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe stick insect does not have high humidity requirements; misting the enclosure twice a week as a basic routine is sufficient, but watch out for mold development. They should also have some drinking water.\u003cbr\u003e\nAs with all stick insect species, they need an enclosure at least 3 times the length of the animal in height, and at least 2 times the length of the animal in width. For an adult female, this means an enclosure of at least 24 cm high and 16 cm wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nReproduction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis species is parthenogenetic in culture.

These eggs will also only produce females.\u003cbr\u003e\nOnce the females are mature, they will start laying eggs.
