pftt

flowers are just too cool

but

ive only kept 3 species, wahlbergii, paradoxa and coronatus

Hard choice...boxers are active...but small, and flowers are cool looking, but don't do much. I'll have to go with boxers I guess.

Boxers seem to have more drab colouration, and are stupidly small, however flower type mantids ( i say flower type mantids as i know theres tonnes of different species involved with flowers) are far more colourful, larger, and look more exotic, and as for not doing much what about the Whalbergii dance? :lol:

 

[londonmantid]

Every mantid has something, but i dont know why i just love the flower mantids

has to be the amazing colour desing theyve got

one of my nimphs molted this morning to adult and i must say that its amazingly beautiful

 

[ismart]

I guess i would have to go with flower mantids. Only because i have never owned any boxers yet, but that should soon change.

 

[idolomantis]

both

 

[MantisNation]

Definately would go with flowers, great variety of species available and their couleration is amazing. Boxers are awesome, just do dang small.

Thanks,

[Morpheus uk]

Godlike :lol:

 

[harryallard]

well, other than the obvious ones with boxer in their common names

i only really know about flowers

 

[mrblue]

which mantids are classed as boxer anyway? :huh:

hestiasula, ephestiasula, maybe also oxypilus? those are the most common "boxers" available i think.

 

[darkspeed]

Acromantis Formosana is called the taiwan flower mantis, but the little things sit there and box all day. :lol:

ive seen them called "taiwan boxer mantids" too. common names eh?

 

[MantisNation]

I think Ceratomantis S is very "boxer" mantis like....

I had several nymphs a few years ago, and they looked like cryptic versions of otomantis
