I remember a few years ago someone had them. They were apparently in culture somewhere. Does anyone know about them or have them? They're some of my favorite mantids. Apparently they are found in India. Here are some pics from google images.

Had an ooth hatchout about 10 of these... and then most were weak.

One member still has the lone survivor from that ooth on the board. It's either a sub adult female or adult female by now. But chances of finding a mate are slim.

The sole owner of the only gongylus trachelophyllus in the USA and possibly all of europe too should chime in soon if he has read this thread.

OK I want to get this strait right off the bat. I bought her as GT I got her from Frey via Trans-am. Another person from Europe also bought some and confirmed to me that they ARE NOT GT. They may just be GG or they could be some other species of Gongylus. I will get some pics later for all to judge.
