For those of you who think it's a Polyspilota griffinii, can you tell me how you can tell the difference between the Polyspilota griffinii and the Polyspilota aeruginosa? I read that they both have the black spots and that the griffinii are more colorful. Are there other differences? Will you be able to confirm for sueb4653 once her mantis is an adult?

I checked mantisplace.com and see that Rebecca has both species listed but that she is sold out of the aeruginosa nymphs. I got my aeruginosa nymphs as 1st instar nymphs back in March from Precarious. They are adults now. My only female mismolted when I was in Colorado and is twisted with bad wings. She really prefers to hang on the silk ivy from her net enclosure. Her legs work fine, and the boys still like her. She laid an ooth a few weeks ago.

Rebeca said she only had griffins at the time.

The biggest difference I'm aware of is the size. A friend sent me an adult female Griffin last year and she was nowhere as large as the Marbled. Similar appearance but entirely different personality and demeanor. Not nearly as friendly as Marbled.
