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

It's great but be warned...
Format: Kindle
I enjoyed the idea of this story. I really did! The story was great, the characters were great, and I had a decent enough time reading. I did however, find myself forcing myself to finish this and skimming through a lot of the series. The pacing was slow which is fine, but it was repetitive. Every single conversation Lydia had with these men always had to have some deeper meaning. Even when I thought there would be a light hearted reprieve, it always ended with another lecture or bit of advice. It felt like I was watching her interact with her multitude of therapists than men she was being courted by. I understand this was a path of healing for her but it got very old very fast. It felt excessive in every way to me and this aspect never changed throughout the entire story. Imagine reading an overly inspirational self help book where they tried to make it interesting by throwing in romance? Which again, could work in many cases but it was so excessive to me. That being said, I still think it was a great story and I think everyone should give this a chance!

Absolutely perfect
Format: Kindle
All of the characters are so expertly developed. They all support Lydia with unwavering understanding while she slowly opens up. I liked that the main conflict wasn’t between the pack and it instead pulled them closer together. This is honestly such a perfect feel good cozy omegaverse. There were some typos sprinkled through out but not enough to be irritating.

Wonderful
Format: Kindle
What a wonderful long read, with depth, emotions, storyline and a touch of $mut. This story was definitely more centered around the storyline rather than any $ex scenes and lived up to “Cozy Omegaverse”. We saw the pack dynamic’s evolve as she was ready for them to evolve, they were patient with her and allowed her to break free from her own constraints. Amazing!

A Nice Story
Format: Kindle
I love Omegaverse and its many stories. The book is a wonderful story. The characters are intriguing and are each unique. There were a few issues with repetitive phrases through out the book and a few misspellings but the biggest issue was the very painful slow burn. I feel if it weren’t so slow It could have incorporated more content about each character. Overall a solid story though.

decent…but
Format: Kindle
This is my first book from this author, and while I do really love omegaverse stories, this one left a lot to be desired. This book is a hard-core slow, slow, slow burn: (75% or later in the book) I will say that I finished it. Unfortunately, I struggled through a lot of it due to punctuation errors, and general editing that must have been looked over during the revision process. I also feel like a lot of information was left out and there wasn’t closure regarding her parents. The dynamic of the pack before Lydia joined is a little confusing, the only person who showed affection towards Elias was the Head alpha. The other two seemed indifferent to him in an intimate relationship way. That doesn’t really scream cohesive pack to me. I am hopeful that the next book in the series is better edited, and that the author decides not to use the same phrases over and over again. I’m pretty sure “honey-warm” was mentioned over 15 times when describing Elias’s scent. That got really old, really fast. Overall, it was a decent book. Not sure I would read it again or recommend it until of these errors are remedied.
