Deroplatys desiccata

how long do they live? i never knew they had long lives.

6-8 months easily. Usually more. Unlike the species from cold countries this tropical species do well in warm weather all year long. Only sickness and rotting legs could kill them sooner.

I think a ghost. They seem to have a longer life span, they don't move around a lot and they hide really well. Wish I could do all three.

i would be phyllocrania paradoxa / ghost mantis. they look so cool.

 

[Katnapper]

I would say a female P. paradoxa... because they are beautiful, cryptic, and regal looking. Plus they wear the pants in the P. paradoxa household (well, as most female mantids do, hehe!).

But I'd also consider being a B. borealis.... because then I wouldn't have to rely on or mess with males of the species! :lol: See... men always have been my downfall. I love 'em, yet... ughhh... living with them always seems to be the headache.
