Amazing looking species, and glad you posted the name. I saw them in your other thread and was really curious of it. :D

 
Hoping to eventually raise and breed these, they are like fancy chaetas lol

 
They are really interesting. Nice to see pictures of live specimens. I have a couple dead ones and I've often wondered how they look when alive.

 
I LOVE THEM!!! :)  I hope you can get them well established in culture. They are beautiful, dramatic and amazing!

 
Wow, one of the best camouflages I've ever seen in the animal kingdom. It took me a few seconds to make out what body part was which in some of the pictures. I can usually tell right off the bat with other insects.

Astounding, thanks for sharing.
