They are so neat looking, the last pic looks like the D. desiccata back end.

Thanks Rebecca, yea, which is why they are also called South American dead leaf mantis.

Next to 50 other south american species, like Brancsikia spp..

 

[Christian]

Brancsikia is a Madagascan genus...

Ooops. Good to know

you mean Acanthops spp. right

 

[tier]

To be honest, I really thought of Brancsikia beeing a South American genus. Stupid me ;-)

But I am sure there are still 49 ather "South American dead leaf species" left over there Ok, Choeradodis is more a "alive" leaf

Hi

Here is the 2,3 breeding group. The first female is subadult since yesterday, the oldest male is presub. The two younger females are also presub, and the youngest male is one instar younger. In this special case, the males are the bright ones while the females are the dark ones.

Nice pics! For some reason my females are always darker while males are lighter in color.

Pair them up recently, male is really rough trying to get on the female. I was terrified!! thought the female will fight back but on both occasion the female didn't attack. But once connected everything is alright and they even let me take a few pics

Very nice work yen! I'll be sending you a couple of girlies this week.

Thanks guys. Paul, as agreed i will send you the adult male instead. One of the females finally laid an ooth that looks like a bean string :blink: pretty neat.
