I have a limited number of this large shield species available. To my knowledge there has only been one successful hatch here in the US so I don't expect you will see nymphs available from another source. I'd like to spread them around in the hope we can keep a culture going.

Tentative ID is Rhombodera valida but no way to know for sure. Larger than R.stalli, wider shield and different color than R.basalis.

Nymphs are $6 each, 10 for $50.

US only. Live delivery guaranteed with Express. Expect around $30 for Express depending on your location.

I also have a few Sphodromantis viridis L3-L4 nymphs. This is my favorite Sphodromantis species. Slightly bigger than Blue Flash, beautiful jade green in early instars, a really nice personality, yet very aggressive with prey.

L3-L4 nymphs are $4 each, 10 for $30.
