This mantis is being sold in a Malaysian exotic pets website as banded flower mantis.

Isn't this is a yellow flower mantis?

by "banded flower mantis" i would assume they meant Theopropus, but that looks like it could be Parhymenopus?

EDIT: i had a look at the website and they do have 3 photos of Theopropus elegans under "banded flower mantis" but then theres two of Parhymneopus under the same listing, which is quite confusing as they look completely different to each other. i guess the website just made a mistake!

I agree with friendofgeckos. I don't think its a banded flower mantis. How did you post the pic Shi Wei?

LOL what a suprise... that would be the 500000000th mantis u want

The generic name has changed a little: the species is called Parymenopus davisoni now. It is more related to Hymenopus than to Theopropus.

That is a gorgeous bug, darn now I want one too! lol

It looks like somebody did a really detailed job of making a mantis out of plastic.

What's the size in mm on that sp.?

 

[Christian]

They're smaller than Hymenopus, about the size of Theopropus, maybe a little larger.

You certainly meant you raise all those species... Breeding is something different.

Looks pretty similar to a Yellow Orchid Mantid to me. I'd love to have some!
