Les the mantis

[JoeWilliamson]

As I haven't shown my mantis before here is a little preview of it. I am currently unsure of its gender although I think it's a male, so I named it les which is a name which could be used for either gender. He is a hierodula majuscula and he is L4 or 5 I think but I could be wrong. (the link is to google drive where I have a video and some pics of it: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2iSTAy9UOj2QVpoQlMyM2NGMVU)

He looks male to me, but I could be wrong. Either way, he/she is a beauty!

Thanks a lot! I think my next will be a thistle mantis.

Agreed for a male. As for a Blepharopsis mendica, they like it hot (around 85℉) and are relatively slow growing.
