I know they are big, but I really wasn't expecting thm to be that large at 3rd instar !

 

[Asa]

I was shocked too. These species grows large early on.

 

[jarek]

[Asa]

5ish.

 

[jarek]

one more I don't understand what 5ihs means , I'm polish can you tell in centymetres?

 

[ThorEH]

1 inch is 2.54 cm, so 5inch is 12,7cm

Wow... they're pretty big at L3. If I just saw it, I'd think it's L5 or L6.

Beautiful! Christian, You have a lot of different mantis in Peru'. I did not know you had some many species over there.

Many thanks Mikhails. Well here in Perú there are 92 species. I have discovered a new mantids specie, Carrikerela, is a greta mantids. The females has a horne and her body is lichen color.

I will post some pics from this new mantids very soon.
