Lol pseudovates are one of my favorites

Their faces look like little monkeys

If you look really close they have "nostrils" that open and close

cool looking mantids. My boss just brought me one back from his trip to Arizona. Anybody breed these in the hobby?

Wow. I have not seen these in culture in many years. Good luck in your breeding.

Anyone have a super close up? I would love to see that!

That's interesting as I've seen smaller wild nymphs in February (many years ago). It makes me wonder if there is a seasonal cycle on these.

I was wondering what you've meant by that until I looked through some of the close up pics I took recently. Lol

Yep, got lucky

Nice! So far it seems that I might be the only person who has enough nymphs for breeding atm.

Will be posting close up soon

Seller told me he found smaller nymphs from the same spot not long after he sent me these nymphs so perhaps some grow slower than others?

Really cool... Thanks for sharing..

Thank you

A few more breeders seem to be getting some from the same source I got mine from so hopefully they'll be able to get this species available in the hobby soon

Interestingly, my subadult is about the same size as subadult male Stagmomantis carolina. Not sure if they are suppose to be this small....

I never had any luck breeding these. Kat use to do it though. Anyone remember Kat?
