Very nice mantids, especially the last one.

How many gongylodes do you have? I unfortunately have a lone subadult female without a mate.

 

[spawn]

The one pictured looks like a sub adult female.

[Marius Pohl]

Hi,

Yes thats a pair.I have 2.2 of Gongylus and they are all subadult.

Maybe I will show you some more pics next time...

whats that 2nd pic?whats on her back?my god is that how bigger the female is to the male?

 

[hibiscusmile]

Yea that's the difference

 

[Marius Pohl]

hi,

Yes that´s a really big difference.

But the female were mated 5 times or more, and I hope that the 2 ooths she layed are fertile.

[Bill Pham]

hmm guess i have to put them in more perspective. lately i been thinking that most mantids are big like the asian. seem like they are all way smaller than i think they are. nice pics and thanks for sharing them.
