Vorab: So wie ich meine Rhombodera kirbyi halte, habe ich die besten Erfahrungen gemacht. Wie sie jemand anderes hält spielt hier keine Rolle! Der Haltungsbericht besteht also ausschließlich aus den Erfahrungen meiner Haltung!

Allgemeine Beschreibung

Die Rhombodera kirbyi (Papua-Schildmantis) ist eine der größten Arten im Hobby. Meine Weibchen erreichten eine Körperlänge von etwa 9cm und Männchen immerhin noch 7cm. Die Färbung reicht von einem dunkleren Braun bis zu einem Goldgelb. 
Generell ist die Art eher Einfach zu halten. Am wichtigsten ist es den Tieren genug Platz zum Häuten zur Verfügung zu stellen. 

Interessant zu wissen: Diese Art frisst und verträgt problemlos auch krabbelndes Futter. Ich konnte schon oft beobachten, wie sie dem Futter hinterher gejagt ist. Das ist eher untypisch für Mantiden 

Haltung

Temperatur: 22-28°C (Nachts Zimmertemperatur) 

Luftfeuchtigkeit: 60-80% (Ich sprühe 3x die Woche) 

Futter: L1 - L2 Drosophila hydei; Ab L3 Goldfliegen und kleine Schabenarten wie Phoetalia pallida oder Shelfordella lateralis; Adult auch größere Schabenarten wie Blaptica dubia oder Heuschrecken. 

Gruppenhaltung der Rhombodera kirbyi 

Von der Gruppenhaltung ist auf Grund des Jagt Triebs und der hohen Aggressivität abzusehen. 

Verhalten 

Meist sind die Tiere sehr ruhig und hängen Tage an der gleichen Stelle, sobald sie jedoch Futter erspähen werden sie aktiv und laufen dem Futter nach. Fühlt sich ein Tier bedroht macht es sich groß und springt mit einem Satz weg, dieses Verhalten ist vor allem bei Jungtieren und Männchen zu beobachten. Adulte Weibchen machen sich ebenfalls groß, versuchen sich aber schneller auch aktiv zu verteidigen statt nur die Flucht zu ergreifen. 

Der Unterschied zwischen Männchen und Weibchen

Wie bei den meisten Mantiden lassen sich die Geschlechter an der Anzahl der Abdomensegmente unterscheiden. Weibchen haben 6 Segmente und Männchen haben 8. Zudem sind Adulte Männchen kleiner und schlanker.

Anfälligkeiten der Rhombodera kirbyi 

Nach meinen Erfahrungen, sind die Rhombodera kirbyi besonders anfällig auf:

- Schlechte Belüftung 
- Störung bei der Häutung

Baby bumps and bodyguards
Format: Kindle
Dark, emotional, and unexpectedly tender, Not Ready is an omegaverse romance that delivers found family feels, fierce protectiveness, and a very pregnant heroine who refuses to break. Vale’s on the run from a stalker, but lands in the arms of three private security alphas, cue the swoony tension, fake marriage twist, and slow-burn heat. It’s a little gritty, a little soft, and a whole lot addictive. If you love protective alphas, high stakes, and heroines with quiet strength, this one’s a must-read.

Strong Omegaverse Comfort and a Attention Grabbing Plot
Format: Kindle
Jillian West never misses when it comes to Omegaverse, and Not Ready is no exception. This story was the perfect blend of cozy comfort and emotional depth while still delivering a strong plot. Vale is such a powerful heroine, she is strong, capable, and determined but I love that she still allows her pack to love and take care of her. It’s that balance of independence and vulnerability that makes her so relatable. The relationship dynamics were amazing: Bishop is steadfast and completely head over heels, Mercy is skeptical but protective in his own way, and Holt is the hesitant one whose slow fall is so satisfying to watch unfold. The romance hits that sweet spot between insta-love and cautious build, keeping me hooked the entire way through. And that ending. Oh my god, the cliffhanger! I need the next book in this duet immediately.

Interesting
Format: Kindle
So I will say I enjoyed the story, for sure had its moments where it dragged but it was a great story. I really liked that omegas picked their alphas/make the pack. Normally the Alphas make it and the omega fits in with them which is great but I enjoyed this new version where all the power basically went to the omega. It was a nice change of pace. I can admit some of the weird bedroom stuff with her being pregnant was odd, it’s really not hard to do stuff when pregnant (I know I’ve had two and it’s normal and even encouraged at the end especially if you want the baby out). But I like the story as a whole and will read the second, I do hope the next one isn’t dragged bc it stopped being action or tense after she met her alphas and I don’t think it was brought up or properly done when they tried to do it. More sweet after she left.

I’m a little disappointed.
Format: Kindle
I usually like Jillian West’s books but this one was missing a lot for me. The pregnancy didn’t come across as real. She’s on her feet for 12 hour days but is perfectly healthy at 8 months pregnant? Yet the week she moves in all of a sudden she’s not? She is planning on actually running during one of the plot buildups. But at 8 months pregnant that’s incredibly hard to do. The lack of breathing ability and lung space, the change in body center, mass, and gravity. All of it prohibits running, unless you’re an athlete this didn’t come off as at all realistic. I didn’t feel any connection with the alphas. There wasn’t any emotional connection. It could be because of the tense it was written in. But I didn’t get any deep feelings out of this. It came across as checking off boxes. Even the spicy scenes weren’t really believable for me. I wanted to see them fall for her, and it just kind of all fizzled. Even Bishop. One thing I did really like was the ending. I did not see it coming and I’m interested in reading book two because of it. But on the whole this book was mostly disappointing for me.
