I'm not sure if this species has got a thread already, but I couldn't find one.

I've had these photos for weeks now and finally I have got around to posting them !

I took them at Grahams in March.

Such a beautiful species......

Hi i have had one of these beauties for about 2 months know, she is not the blue but an almost translucent yellow ( bit like a jelly baby). she is an excellent hunter and good fun to have out of the tank.

does anyone else know much about this species as i believe its new in the UK. will post pictures once i sort my camera out.

Yes it is, we found them at the AES last October, but I didn't get any due to other species taking priority.

Graham is the guy to ask about these :wink:

got some from graham on sunday at the bts, dont look anything like the adults as nymphs do they? birdfly has had theese for a bit but from what i gather they are easy to care for..., just make sure you breed these on
