Sorry the pictures are tiny, the forum still won't let me post photos over a few kb

Found a couple Yersiniops sp. today,  I believe they are Yersiniops solitarius but this is my first time seeing them so I cannot rule out Yersiniops sophronicus. If anyone can offer a positive ID I would greatly appreciate it. These individuals were quickly photographed and released so...

10 years late, but I'm planning a trip down to Madera and I was wondering if one can still expect to find unicorn mantises this late in the summer? Also, having trouble finding the Yersiniops mantis in that last picture haha

thanks everyone for the advice! I'll post if I find any surprises :)

Hi everyone, I haven't been on this site for almost a year so I think I missed a bit lol, but does anyone know where the best place to spot an AZ unicorn genera mantis in Arizona? I havent been able to find much detailed location info, thanks!

found this on my tropical milkweed, verified that it is in fact a true monarch and not a queen caterpillar(2 pairs of antennae for monarch caterpillars vs. 3 pairs for a queen)

thanks I'll try that

It seems that I cant upload any pics over 1.51 MB. Any advice on how to reduce their size so I can post them?

She was hiding in a small thicket of weeds. I didn't know their range extended to Taiwan.

Anyone else setting up a butterfly garden?

Nice!

Nice cage! What kind of mantis is Bugsey?

You may want to sterilize his sticks in the oven, to kill any possible spores or mold growth. Also, make sure the cage has proper ventilation because of potential moisture build-up. 

Wow, amazing! 

Thanks! So far, I've had about 60 hatchlings!

The ootheca from Tucson hatched! About a dozen yesterday, and five overnight. We've had some warm weather lately, which probably explains the early hatch. Sorry about the bad photo quality.
