My first CB Polyspilota griffini - "Griffin Mantis" ooth hatched last night.

These did VERY well communally, provided they are well fed. A little bigger than the average Chinese Female that I catch in LA. These females measured about 11cm from head to wing tip.

They eat everything I've fed them - crickets, flies, katydids, bees, moths. Readily eat from tweezers.

Raised with very little humidity in a screened enclosure from L1 to adult. Temporarily removed them as subadults (as a precuation), but this proved uneccessary.

Very skittish at first, but they relax quickly and make great models. Green and brown color morphs, although nearly all become mottled grey.brown as adults.

Great species for beginners who can keep them fed.

PM me for prices.
