Oxyopsis gracilis (Paraguayan Mantis) is a cool species of medium sized mantis. Adults are about the same size as adult Ghosts, bright green with cute triangular faces and unique orange and blue mouths. Males have transparent wings while females' are solid green with a white dot. Very easy to keep and handle.
Best of all THEY ARE COMMUNAL! Woo-hoo!
Keep them all together in a nice terrarium.
This is one of the most rewarding species I've kept and one of my personal favorites. Amazingly colorful as nymphs and fun to watch.
Nymphs are relatively calm and large, able to eat Hydei the same day they hatch. Very hardy nymphs!
Aggressiveness is very similar to Ghosts with females becoming more aggressive as they approach maturity, but I've keep all the adult females together with no incidents.
Females lay approximately 10 ooths, each hatching 30 to 80 nymphs, which can be kept COMMUNALLY!
US only.
I have a few ooths available for $20 each.
Priority shipping $5.50.
Guaranteed fertile! All from a single female and her first ooth hatched earlier this week.
L2 nymphs, $4 each, 10 for $30.
Priority approx. $7-$10. Express approx. $15-$30 depending on location.
