Not my mantis, belongs to one of the members of a Discord server I'm on. Any one know what it is? I've seen the fluid pockets on slightly mismolted wings before but not on legs. You can see the lump on the back right leg.

Looking to get some Elegans, Orchid or Thistle nymphs. Any instar, just not adult. Females preferred but I will take males if that's all you have to spare. I live in Belton, Texas.

The species was briefly offered on a few websites and (understandably so) sold out almost immediately. Are they going to be further circulated in the hobby? Were any breeders successful? I just want to know if there is ever even the possibility of owning a beautiful species like that. I didn't...
