Really nice species.

I've never seen an ooth like that :blink:

Acanthops falcata ooths hang by a thread too. Interesting....

Yeah infact at nymph stage both species look very similar. But as adult S. denticulata is generally longer, with longer prothorax (especially metazona) compared to T. gressitti.(See pic below, T. gressitti adult female on the left and adult male S. denticulata on the right)
