Hi Patrick, haven't heard from you for awhile, I do not know what either of them are, but I would love to have em, tell your brother to send them home, and make the box big enough so he can come too. I'll make dinner for them all. Bugs for mantis and a big pot of chicken and dumplings for big bro!

Seriously have him find mates and send them to you and me! The top one is Sweet!

The first one looks like an Eremiaphila ssp. :lol:

AWESOME mantis.

 

[Ian]

As Andrew said, the first species is Eremiaphila, in a style of it's own.

The second species I am not to sure, an adult male of some kind.

Hi.

The Eremiaphila is right. The second one looks to me like a male of Rivetina.

Regards,

Christian

Whoops, I wasn't logged in when I posted. Thanks of the ID's and would it be legal for him to send them to the US?
