Mantid species in Southern Spain?

[rs4guy]

And other cool inverts? Im spending 10 days down here and figured I'd keep an eye out for bugs and such. Gracias!

Hi,

As far as I am informed, you should be able to find Mantis religiosa and different kinds of Empusa down there. Probably also some Sphodromantis from Africa are possible. But I am not sure which kinds are under conversation in Spain. You should inform yourself in advance.

Cheers,

Tristan

Also, be on the look out for the Megarian banded centipede. They're about 4 1/2 inches long! I think you could be able to see iris oratoria, but not sure...

Yes, Iris Oratoria is a very possible candidate but at this time of the year they should be still very young.

Oh, cool inverts in general? Well scorpions are cool and there are plenty.

the US could use a new influx of religiosa, these here have a hard time thriving!
