Species of Avatar

[agent A]

I have noticed a lot of people have used mantids as their avatars. Those who do me, katnapper, BeckyL, Christian, idolomantis, Arkanis, and a few others should say the species of their avatar here, including common and scientific name. I think some avatar pics here are very cool, but I don't know what species they are. Here, I'll start:

Jeweled Flower Mantis

Creobroter Gemmatus

Female

Phyllocrania paradoxa

She set two extra places and has a bottle of wine ready to go. I have some music ready as well to set a nice, relaxing mood. I will even dim the lights for them.

OK... but you're the one who brought it up in this thread in the first place. A PM would have been more appropriate. Oh... I forgot, you can't PM me because I blocked you. Oh well.... sorry to continue with an extraneous off topic post....... on with the subject at hand!

well, here we have Archispirostreptus gigas

I name my millipedes because they live for 5 years or so.

mantids don't get names other than 1, 2, and so on.
