Camelomantis

Here is the latest hatching, will update the pics as they grow, cute little buggers!

They are about the same size as the chinese, not much meat on their bones just yet!

Never heard of them... will be interesting to see what they look like when adult. Best of luck with them, Rebecca!

Here is a pic of "Camelomantis parva BEIER, 1931, ♀" From World of Mantids: http://mantids.de/re...amelomantis.jpg

*************************************************************************************

From what I gather HERE, Camelomantis Sondaica is the most common

species in culture.

Hmmm...... is this what you have, Rebecca?

Thanks Bassit and Kat for the help, I was on earlier today and no one had posted so I thought no one cared, so I did not look again. But I don't know which they will turn out to be, I only found one pic and that was on tt, so when they are grown, then maybe we will know, just for now they are Camelomantis! I wonder if they will have a hump?

According to the thread title I believe she is saying they are Camelomantis sp.

I believe my brother was asking for the specific species as we already know its genus.

This genus is native to South East Asia. Becky gave the correct info above. Rebecca (hibiscusmile), do you or the person who provided you with this species know where they come from exactly? If you have this information, we can narrow it down further and identify the species.

I will have to ask!
