Oh my god! This is just so cute! I'd love to have a mantid like this!

How do they look like when adult?

 
They are still new in this hobby, i'm keeping them cooler when they first hatched to simulate the same condition as in highland from Paraguay, but i realized that 30-40% of the hatchling failed to progress into second instar. So i start to keep them warmer to 80F, and they have been doing alright since. Now i have a healthy size culture ready for next generation, i have some subadult now, hopefully i will have some for sale by December.
