P. Ocellata

This is one of the PO that I got from Yen. He became an adult today. Not exactly the best quality, since my camera is meant to take pictures of people.



Size comparison to a quarter.









Enjoy! Will update when more become adult. All of them are subadult now.

Wow is that as big as they get? I'll never find mine Still they are good pictures and the coin really shows their size.

 

[Sparky]

aw, i expected them to be bigger.

 

[asdsdf]

Thanks. Yep, they are tiny. Remember my topics about tiny mantids? I like them, and I chose this one. (And ant mantids, and Nigerians. Both tiny)

Hibiscussmile: Thanks. What do you mean by you'll never find yours?

Thanks guys.

2nd male matured. I hope the females hurry, sinceI think I only have 2 males, and 10 females.

Lol, but how did you post pics from flickr????

Thanks. I have another male that matured. Thank God I have another one. Now, three males have to fertilize 9 females. For pics of the first two males that matured, go here. http://www.flickr.com/photos/13641716@N05/

more nice pics, good job

NOOOOOO!!!!! Luckily, one of the males decided to be male(There was one I thought was male, then it molted again and turned female. <_< ), and became the fourth to molt to adult. Unfortunately, I accidentally squished him a little. His wings will be messed up, and he has like a bum leg. It used to be worse. It used to be bent and folded against his body, but I managed to straighten it a little. Now, it's slightly bent sideways, and he can't walk perfectly.

He would have been perfect if it weren't for me. Hope he can escape a female's grasp...
