Never really seen a green one before, although I've heard about it. Doesn't look SUPER Green or anything, but standing next to the other morphs that I've got, you could see the Green in it. It's the ONLY one that looks like that out of my entire collection of Violins, so it's pretty special to me.. The Tan colored one that gets kicked in the face is the basic color that I normally see and off to the right is a darker colored one that's also pretty rare in my collection, though not as rare as the green one.

Just thought I'd upload and share. ENJOY! :)

 
Haha, I laughed out loud when I saw the kick! Thanks for sharing with us :-D It's really awesome seeing different colored mantids of the same species near each other like that, especially in a species that is known to have just one main color.

 
Well since Precarious doesn't love us anymore, you may be the new video post leader! :)

Gongylus can wear many different colors,but the green and black phase are not common...I have heard about a white phase but never seen it.

Nice video!

A white one would be AWESOME!

THats a green gongy all right but heres a link of a super green one. He even tells you how he got it. :) http://mantidforum.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=16835&st=0
Thanks hierodula! I guess I got lucky with this one here because I don't spray them nearly as much as the person in the link did.. awesome green on that one!

 
Weird. The arms on the green one actually have stripes on them. I know it's a violin, but the arms make it look like an idolo-gongy hybrid. Really weird and really cool!

An Idolo that moves around as much and eats as easily as a Gongy.. now how awesome would that be???

 
I wouldn't mind a green one, although it looks sort of yellowish-green. I wonder how rare of an occurance this is? Great Video!
