Parymenopus davisoni

[agent A]

I think I like hymenopus better...

I like orchid nymphs more, but as far as adults davisoni wins for me :

I know 5-6 people breeding regular Orchids, what Paul has done is one of a kind here in the states and now he may be about to spread them around to put them here for a good long time, well hopefully that is? Wait...I think I heard this story before. :whistling:

I think it's awesome he's breeding them but my eyes like hymenopus better, I like the colors better and the bigger leg lobes but they r both awesome

Anyone can breed hymenopus but to start out with 1 parahymenopus and get it to adult and mate it and everything is out of this world!!!

hey you able to *** these yet and I am asking for four of them and can you *** them?

 

[frogparty]

Do they show the notched abdomen like Hymenopus?

 

[angelofdeathzz]

I think sexing at L2 is a craap shoot at best, they're just to tiny to hold still and not shock them or even worse kill them by trying... but hey if you can do it more power to you!

 

[ismart]

Cool beans, is that a ooth from each one? B)

Are we to start calling you "The Orchid King"?

Yes, they are ooths from each of them.

Yen is the original "Orchid King" Can't take any credit there.

No, At L2 it's just to difficult. I can't make any promises. Sorry.

Do they show the notched abdomen like Hymenopus?

I don't know? I don't have a magnifying glass right now. I'm inbetween homes. Infact i don't even live with my mantids right now. :lol:

Great work man, great work, PM me when you have some ready for shipping!!!!!

 

[massaman]

I think they do have the band on thier necks as I found this image that shows it but not sure if its the same color.In orchids the males have a brown line on their pronotum, and the females a green one so guessing its the same way with the parymenopus

 

[frogparty]

Seriously!!!! Me too!

 

[ismart]

The band around there neck is not an indication of ***. These guys are not orchids. female, and male neck bands are both brown.

 

[massaman]

I know they are a little similar is what I am saying

I know. I just don't want you to get the wrong idea.

 

[frogparty]

QUIT TORTURING ME!!!!!!! I want these little beauties bad!!!!

wahahahahahaa!

 

[angelofdeathzz]

LOL!!! I think his inbox will be filling up. :lol:

 

[massaman]

Well I am getting 4 and hoping I get a female or 2 in the group!

 

[frogparty]

I hope you do as well! Beautiful little mantids that will hopefully get better established in the hobby

I been after this species for at least 4 years now and finally have them and hope to be able to get a pair and get them to adults and breed them for myself first off!
