Wow! The small size of the prothorax on the Perlamantis is insane! Cool mantids. Love the Geomantis markings. The name "Geomantis" also makes a lot of sense. Geo = earth

Interesting species! A couple of your images are excellent examples of camouflage. Thanks for sharing!

Yes very interesting! Do the ooth overwintering like the native US Yersiniops and Litanuetria? All the best with the oothecae!

Perlamantis has the smallest pronotum I have ever seen, only the length of the head. :blink:
