[QUOTE="guapoalto049, post: 156513, member: 4037"] I'd have to say shields #1. They are large, very stock, super aggressive, and seem to enjoy being handled. I really don't know if there is a stronger mantis, between its foreleg strength and its tarsal grip. #2 may be orchids. Unfortunately I haven't kept any yet, but their beauty is top notch. I didn't choose Idolos simply because of their clumsiness. They would be an instant #1 if they were more aggressive and coordinated. Sometimes I feel that they are like an uncoordinated teenager who isn't used to being so tall. Also, imo what's good about being big if you don't eat something big? Ghosts are neat but subadult females take really long to grow and don't eat much. Budwings are cool but give 'em steroids and its basically a shield. Chinese and violins are also cool, but they can be pretty skittish sometimes, like never-ending walking around in the cage/your hand. [/QUOTE]
