Stagmomantis theophila

[mantisdeperu]

Hi all. I want to show you few pics of my new mantis species, Stagmomantis theophila. This mantis si from Perú and is more big than other Stagmomantis species. I love this species because they have some spines on the coxae.







Best regards.

About the size of Stagmomantis floridensis? The females are like 75mm and males 65. I need some different Stagmomantis then carolina... SO JEALOUS!

I love the spikes it looks very predatory. Do any other species have spikes like that?

Heirodula multispina have those, but they are ivory colored and not quite as prominent.

It does look cool. And... I probably never would have seen the photos if someone hadn't bumped it up.
