Nice pics, Giosan. These seem to be an interesting species. How do you like them? What is their behavior/demeanor like? Just wondering if they have any characteristic habits or personalities. I guess I'm just wondering in general how they are or what they are like.

Those are some different looking mantises.

Glosan, I love this species, they are so neat, they have a great personnality, Kat, they like crickets, and a good drink every day! They can hang just like the pic shows and they hold that pose for hours. I wanted to have mine out with me, but I have the crippled orchid lady out and can only have one out at a time, so she is getting old and I know I won't get to visit with her before she passes, hey Glosan, let me know if you get any ooths or extra babies, mine did not end up fertile :blink: , maybe I can try again!

One of my all-time favs. too.

Classic twig mimic!

I remember the young being larger than expected, though maybe I was smaller then.

Thanks, Rebecca.

Yes they really are very very cool I wanted them for quite some time and finally got them! They have this bend neck and straight tail, which makes them look like a monkey

I'm still learning they're personality and character. They like to hunt btw, that is so funny to watch :lol:

They do grow pretty fast. Not very very much time between molts...

Oh and by the way: check their veiny eyes Isn't that just plain scary?! Love it!

Thank you very much for the info, Giosan! Those eyes are pretty wild, lol! Would definitely like to try this species one of these days.

They are still young, so i can't guarantee that they will mate! But if they do, i'll let you guys know
