Gary and James

[Opivy]

Don't know the sexes, so they may be named wrong =0.

James, a mystery mantis from mantisplace. Can anyone identify him? Here's some more pics (Also, notice his short antennae - I thought this would fix itself after a molt, but it didn't. Should this cause any concern?)

(my girlfriend in the background. She wont get near them =0

He/she is mean! I don't know if it can be sexed so young, I'm pretty sure it's L4 -

And Gary - my Giant Shield

And my girlfriend, just bored and keeping her distance.

bump! I'd really like to have some more experienced people tell me what 'James' is.

Miomantis paykulli

Yep...that's what I was gonna say. Looks like Miomantis.

Miomanits paykulli

That first one does appear to be this. Hard to sex those using those pics.

 

[hibiscusmile]

haha, what is she scared of? they are a fraction of her size~

My work computer stinks! <_<

I cant see the pics.

thanks for the replies =)

looking at pictures, I guessed that he may be a Miomantis - but I have read on here that they eat alot. For james it is quite the opposite - Compared to my giant shield he barely eats.
