Okay, H. trimaculata isn't being bred as far as I know. But H. membranacea is common.

the H.membranacea is a really nice species, they get to a fair size and are "fairly" active hunters, reasonably flexible with temperature and humidity as well from my experience. (also come in a range of colours, green, brown, grey and apparently somewhat purple on occasions I hear), though I have only have greens and browns at work.. |

Usually around £5.00 for a nymph that is 1" in length.
