I have one fertile P. agrionina ooth laid recently, and can send to Poland. PM me if interested. Thanks.

Budwings are always in culture...

But are they P. affinis or P. agrionina? Both are "Budwings," but not the same species.

I've been wondering about this for a while Kat.... What's the difference?

Parasphendale Sp.(Budwing mantis)

"Appearance: this large-eyed mantis is named for the short wings that the females possess. When threatened, they will stretch out their arms to reveal bright coloring and if they are adults, they will also unfurl their wings. Their coloration ranges from light brown to grayish brown…there are some color morphs that can result in a green adult, but that is rare. I was also told about the difference between P. affinis and P. agrionina (as I used to have this species labeled as P. affinis)...there is one sure-fire way to tell, underneath the fore wings of the P. agrionina should be orange and black striping while the P. affinis should have an all black coloring. Thank you very much Jesse for telling me this!"
