Valida and Stalli

[fleurdejoo]

SO I got this valida from Tammy Wolf I think Precarious also has these.

I love this little...guy?

Really beautiful dark green color.

The Stalli's are cool too. I also go these from Tammy Wolf.

Much paler lime green and really fast!!!

 

[sinensispsyched]

Sweet! I might get these soon! They look beautiful!

I like the valida better.

 

[gripen]

Please they are Rhombodera sp. (valida) We are not 100 percent on the ID.

 

[patrickfraser]

You need to stop griping, gripen.

Are you sure? If you are right we REALLY should not call these Rhombodera valida! Are there no certain Rhombodera valida in the US? Fleurdejoo on Mantodea.speciesfiles.org there is a Rhombodera stalii listed and no Rhombodera stalli listed. I think it is just a typo somebody did and it got around and that R. stalli is R. stalii. Here look at this. They seem to come from the same place.

And you need to stop clowning around, Mime.

The Rhombodera sp. (valida) are all from Precarious. We all made are best guesses at identifying them so we are not totally sure on the ID.

Thanks. I remember that. Cf. means go compare, right?

The stalli females turn out really pretty,just takes them almost til L6 or so to really get some more color I haven't had the other Rhombodera yet,but looks pretty sweet already

 

[happy1892]

I have been told that two i on the end of the name (like Rhombodera stalii) makes the sound i and that one i (like Rhombodera stalli) makes the sound e. Is that right? It would be good to know.

They have a bigger shield than Rhombodera stalii (I am sticking to R. stalii for now ).

 

[OctoberRainne]

Very nice,I want to someday get into other shields myself,like the bigger ones,right now I'm still keeping Stallis though

I have heard them called Java Shields. I like it better than Stallis.

Touché, but mine was better.

 

[hibiscusmile]

I love the look of this little guy, and I noticed your ring, is it tri color?

 

[fleurdejoo]

Ok so I am supposed to write and spell it as Rhombodera sp stalii ?

Is that right?

Sorry guys, it won't let me change the title.

I prefer the valida it is more laid back and I love, love the darker green.

It is not tri colored, probably needs to be cleaned!!!

 

[patrickfraser]

I like the valida, too. Those are the ones I have from Precarious. Just had an ooth hatch. :clap:
