After months planning and days' searching deep into the cloud forest at height nearly 2000 meters, where lichens and orchids grown on the cypress tree.

And here we are, the Kishinouyeumde cornuta

Look at the lateral sides on the belly and neck, the sharp protrusion or short horns, which make the name of this species.

There is no official report on this subject both academics or among the hobbyists pools so far. Wish I can bring to you this amazing species soon.

enjoy the photo,

Luke from Taiwan

 
Sorry, that is about the best for my auto-focusing camera can do at this point. Will look for a real professional one sooner or later.

Any advice?

 
There are academical interests at least for this species among other thing, and definitely would be a major findings ever within the past two decades.

Glad I will be part of them to solve the mysterious of this species, and hope many of the viewers enjoy this wonderful gift from the mother nature.

 
That is indeed a wonder gift from mother nature, is a gift for Taiwanese to have this species. :D Best of luck Luke in rearing and breeding this species. We certainly hope this species will exist for a long time.

 
Brilliant find! lovely looking mantis too!!

Oh i think the spider may be a harvestman.

Thanks for sharing :D

 
Wow, awesome looking mantis! I bet Yen will be the first person to get this species imported. :p
Yes i may get them in the future but it is important that Luke should get a good breeding size going first before risking it on shipping the few.
