I don't know any as I don't like those common names, latin rules They need a bit higher humidity and also a piece of wood instide the box. They are quite fast and like walking on the net at the top of the container, so they are a bit different from all bark mantids.

eos 350d + sigma 50mm macro

Hehe this is actually my favourite colour so I had to have it! I also had one blue cilnia humeralis, but of course it's just a morph.

Check also Rhombodera fusca. This one is also blue and very nice. We are waiting for hatching now
