Those eyes are red at night, many mantis make that?

 

[superfreak]

These are cute. They remind me of the Archimantis species we have here in oz.

 

[Zelthan]

Yea they look alike, but these are slimer with black petroleum colored wings,also somethin like tiger eye on males tip

wonderful species! Where are you located?

 

[Zelthan]

In Mexico, yea i think they are sumichrasti , Rob have you breed them or someone has breed them before? I would like to know about how long do they take to lay eggs after mating, how many ooths they lay, and how many are born

 

[Rick]

Those are really neat looking.

 

[Emile.Wilson]

Congrats on finding a female!

 

[Zelthan]

Thank you Emile, but today I dinded half male sticked to the female, I have to return the female to her owner with my half male , I`ll get an ooth when she lay them, will he fall when they have finsish mating?

 

[superfreak]

aw how sad you can gently pry him off if they've been coupled for a couple of hours already. then feed him to her. no sense in wasting the other half off him!
