Very nice species, what color are they as adults?

(edited) I just went to terra t. and looked it up, they are still green but the bottom is a bit yellow from their pictures, this is a really neat looking species Christian!

That is a gorgeous mantis, Christian. Did you get my PM?

Christian · May 18, 2008

It would be good to know if this is a highland or a lowland stock. The last ones we tried to breed (the ones posted at terra-typica) were from a highland stock (about 2000 m) and turned out to be very difficult, needing special requirements. So my question is: where were these ones found?

Nice shield at 3rd instar :blink:

No way! I've always loved this species since i first saw it way back when i first got into the hobby! Cool! I cant wait until they become more mainstream! PLease keep me on your mind if/when they reproduce!

Gorgeous sheilds at L3 too! They are like steroid-injected rhombodera's!

Yes, what are their conditions? Are they agressive? :lol:
