Love the threat pose!!! Mine do that to each other a lot at L4/L5

Your Rhomboderas are beautifull. Gotta love how the shield is showing fully now. Mine are just hitting 4th Instar and the shield is beginning to show

Is that as big as the wings get on the Phasmomantis sumichrasti? Those are cute. She is huge in comparison.

Nice, seems you have a 'true' R. basalis, that is a rare sight for us in America. I like the Phasmomantis, a species you do not see often in photos. Great collection!

Phasmomantis? I'm so jealous man! WHO SOLD YOU THOSE?

 

[SilentDeviL]

Wow. I didn't know people kept Metallyticus splendidus.

Hi

Thanks

Mvalens,Yes, that is as big as the wings get on Phasmomantis, the males' wings are longer.

guapaulto, you're right, thats the real R. basalis.

I wanted to put some more pics, but I can't upload more pics because I used all of my global upload quota?! How can I post more pics?

Best regards Paul

Hey Paul. I'd recommend uploading your pictures to a free filesharing service, such as Photobucket or Flickr. Then you can just embed or link to them here.
