Maybe you could make a little Gongylus-Solygia coparison picture?

 

[Pelle]

Solygia is stunning!Is she next-to-last instar on your previous photos, or subadult already?

Yes, she is one instar before subadult on those pics.

Over here she's subadult

Maybe you could make a little Gongylus-Solygia coparison picture?

Maybe I could, maybe not.

But I will do it when my subadult female turns to adult, within a week I think

Yes, she is one instar before subadult on those pics.

Thank you! Thus mine are sub-subadult too. What a beasts they will be in adulthood... Hurray!

What is the growth rate of your Schizos? From observing mine, I would put them at the same rate as my Sybilla.....slow.

 

[Pelle]

Hmm yes, pretty slow..

I've got them at 2nd instar beginning April. Female is now 2 sheds from adult I think..

Male is very slow, the female shedded 2 times and he still needs to shed. Hopefully he will do that soon.

Nice pics Pim. Congrate on the adult male. Nice looking mantis.

 

[Katnapper]

Absolutely beautiful, Pim! I really like how you include close-ups of the various body parts in addition to the whole mantis or scene of mantids.
