 That's amazing! You're so lucky! **envy overload**

Seems like you had fun there. Those are some gorgeous mantises! The Angela sp. looks totally like a stick in the second photo! I would never have guessed it was a mantis! And of course, the Choeradodis is stunning, as they always are!

Thanks for the great photos!

Those are amazing mantises! Great pictures! And so many different amazing species! Did you find the mantises in the wild yourself?

I love the Choeradodis rhombicollis mantises they are so interesting looking.

Yes I found these mantids myself. The choeradodis were by far my best find and my dream mantis.

I did not find any ooths, but the two stagmomantis layed ooths while I was there.
