I wanted to see how familiar you guys are with the ooths of some mantis species in culture. If you can guess all 12 species of mantis' ooths in the photographs you win. Winner will get a free Hymenopus Coronatus L2 nymph.(Just pay priority shipping)

(There are some duplicate ooths of the same species in the photographs).

People not allowed to play: (yen_saw, precarious333, Bartek, Melano, ChrisP)

Each member gets 2 guesses before they are out of attempts.

Full species name is required, ex: "Stenophylla sp." is not sufficient, "Stenophylla Cornigera" is sufficient.

Game ends in a week if no one has guessed by then.
