Hi all. I want to post some pics of Orthoderella ornata, new mantid in my culture, that I want to share with you.

This specie is from Paraguay.

Nice looking mantids, very unusual, i hope you do well with them

It looks like it's trying to hide!!

Yes my friend. They try to hide like some other mantids species.

Whay, arrived yesterday and it hatched today!

Laid on the 25/05/08, hatched on the 12/06/08 (18 days incubation period).

First day hatchlings count = ~15

Will post another photo when the hatchling later on

watch this space!

18 days incubation?! including a post journey?! thats crazy fast. interesting...

whoa that thing is weird! it appears to have one solid eye, without that "pupil" most other mantids have. I think i like it but im not sure!

I've lost alot of hatchlings to cannibalism and general neglegence (as i was moving back to my parent's house).
