My Alalomantis Coxalis mantids (Congo Green)

[beckyl92]

I recently got 3 adult females and a male. just thought id show you some pictures of this species

This is my male:

This species is normally green but if you put brown surroundings in their enclosure and give them low humidity in time they turn brown

its also to do with genetics.

Heres my brown female:

I think shes gorgeous.

Check the pattern on her arms:

ive got an ooth and another on the way so when they hatch ill post some pictures.

ill post some pics of my green females aswel soon.
