The size difference in both these species is unbelievable! My mom couldn't believe how big the female orchids are compared to the males, and she's an outsider! :lol:

Very nice pictures!

 

[hibiscusmile]

Laura, did you notice the round eyeballs?

Of the Theopropus elegans? Yes, I did. I almost thought they were creobroters until I noticed that. Very similar appearance to a c. pictipennis

Hello,

Thank you, you are great

I'm going to share other pictures.

In France, where i live, one pair of Hymenopus coronatus L5 or L6 is 20 or 30€ (= 27 or 41 $), but it's rare.

Thank you,

Paul
