Very successful hunt and destroy predators. Observing them must be great. Any breeding?

Once a year (around March/April) 1 German dealer gets them in from SA.

and that's the only guy i know off who offers them,...

Mantichora was sucessful breed in the zoo of Köln (Germany).

Yea, Anthia rules. I kept to couples of Anthia cinctipennis about two years. Many matings but no eggs :( .

Greetings,
Sebastian :D
