Peacock Mantis

[lectricblueyes]

Howdy! I just received 6 Peacock Mantids from the UK. Females get up to 6 inches! Wow! Males, 4 inches. These are L2/L3 nymphs. I don't see much about them here in the forums. Am I using the wrong name? Are they known as something else? Pseudempusa Pinnapavonis is the name he provided. $28.00 for 6 nyphs and that includes express shipping from the UK and a small fee for USD to Pounds. Not too bad eh? Any tips? advice?
