Hello Mantifolk! I'm new to the hobby, and FAR from being able to ID baby mantises yet. I ordered a Hierodula Membranacea about a month ago. They were out of stock, so I was sent a S Virdis instead. It had a bad molt, and I was sent a replacement. The 2nd mantis I received was significantly smaller than the first, and as you can see, the colors and markings are very different. I've asked the breeder what strains each of them are, and was told they were to small for the breeder to ID them. I'm hoping someone here can give me the info I'm looking for. All I really want to know is which species I'm dealing with so I can take the best care of lil Mannie
Any ideas? Thanks!!!
