new babies in home

[Mex_Ghost]

A friend gave me for "free" an ooth, some people call this specie as Stagmomantis Tolteca, but I´m not sure it is really a S. Tolteca, any way, they hatched on thursday, so I got about 40 nymphs!!!! and yesterday my first coronatus ooth hatched, some died for a mistake, but now I have about 20 nymphs alive.

I love my Orchids! L3 and taking down huge Blue Bottles! Giant drama on a tiny scale!

Wow! That Tolteca is beautiful. Very colorful. Keep us updated on that species. Are they as colorful as they mature?

Flower mantis babies are so flashy. Wish the coronatus stayed like that.

very stylish in the red and black. look like little race cars.

I love their eyes! how round! I hope they turn out to be what he told you they were!

if i'm not mistaken the black and orange ones are orchid mantis. So they are getting as big as an orchid mantis

thanks everybody, finally after a lot of time, I got these Coronatus babies, here the most common (natives) Mantids are Limbatas, Phasmomantis and a new specie not known by now called Limon (Lemon), so I wantend to introduce Coronatus and some other species I hope I can raise these and the others from the other ooth.

The coloration of L1 Coronatus is amazing, I saw some pics but having them is cooler .

About S. Tolteca I heard that a friend had them I wanted to have them too, (cause where I live there is an archeological zone from the Toltecas civilization) now I have them, but a friend told me that He called them Toltecas, but He is not sure if they are, He send me a link to an article talking about S. Toltecas and that´s why He called them Toltecas.

The size of the female "S. Toltecas" is about 2 inches and a half to 3 inches.
