This is the first time I am keeping this species and I only have nymphs right now. From my observation so far the head and abdomen for this species is quite different from Popa sp. This species also need longer time to grow than Popa spurca.
 
wow!!! looks like a combo of texas unicorn and popa spurca!!

 
looking at them more they REALLY look like unicorns! everything about them looks like unicorns.

 
WOW :blink: Nice mantis! Looks like a mix between a cryptic exotic species and a North American species. Nice colors inside the raptors as well.

Now that is ADORABLE! Sign me up.

Looks like an Oxyopsis gracilis disguised as a Popa.

Would love to see these in person. Hope they are available soon.
