[CesarF]

That's a big mantis! Nice find! ....being in Brazil, Im assuming mantids are a common sighting?

Very nice mantis

Being an adult female that you found in the wild, she could lay you some fertile ooths

Keep your fingers crossed and your eyes peeled

Many nice exotics your capable of finding in brazil

Mantids are found everywhere here, if you search carefully =DThe most common species here on my state is Stagmatoptera binotata, the same as the pic. =]

Can you ship ooths out here? Love this genus. By the way, is this the same species? It was found in Guyana. Maybe a different color morph?

Maybe I'm missing something really important here, but why is everyone so enthralled with Stagmos? I mean, they're cool, but they're standard mantis cool. not anything way crazy as far as I see. Could someone fill me in?

To say the truth, I agree with you xDMaybe because they're so common here...

This isn't stagmomantis like what we have in North America, it's just spelled similarly.

Does anyone breed them here in the US?

Looks more like macromantis to me.

Macromantis is bigger, and the female have an enormous abdomen compared to the wings
