Rhombodera, Sphodromantis, Hierodula

[TEAM BUGS]

Hello Im wondering which species of the title Genus has the stockiest male ( width, thickness, weight ) etc... & Rho vs Sph ? Hie vs Sph ? Hie vs Rho ? And So On ...

Not really sure but I always thought the males were rather similar between the genera.

Rhombodera is easily the strongest, a close 2nd has to be the Sphodromantis.

Thank you both !! Now I feel a lot better knowing the facts vs google and guessing.

Rhombodera.. Smartest, strongest, best human bond you could ever expect with a mantis. Make sure if you decide rhombo, to watch some tv with her >

Good to know, now only if I can find some for sale

You should add cilnia humeralis, they are pretty tough.

The males of Pnigomantis medioconstricta top that bar for me

clinia is not in hobby as far as I know. Nice species, but haven't seen it really in 8 years .
