It is a good looking mantid. I can't wait to get more, hopefully soon. I would like to breed them.

He's gorgeous! Just look at those swollen wing buds! :lol:

 

[Mex_Ghost]

in this instance... how do you call to that "wings", pre-wings??

 

[Precarious]

Those are some swollen buds! Hopefully someday I'll get to raise some of these.

Are you planning on mating them? If so, good luck! This is such a beautiful species.

Nice pink color. Did you keep them in high humidity? All the best in breeding this.

 

[Mex_Ghost]

I kept them from L2 to L4 with really high levels of humidity, I put a piece of cotton in the floor of it´s enclousure and I keep it wet (very wet), cause when I returned from work I saw some times that I had some nymphs with no humidity, and some at L2 had bad molts.

Now I know who to come to when I need to mate my 4 subadult orchid females

I have one adult male, but he mismolted and his wings did not pump out all the way.. So he is handicapped in that department, but I hope I will be able to mate him with the females.
