No. It's a Rhombodera like what I told you to get your friend. See, they look pretty similar.

Other rhombodera pics I've seen have smaller shields :S

I think the Rhombodera valida is a little bigger. But I could be totes wrong!!

All I know is I LOVE them!!!

I got them from Precarious. You all should get some cuz they are so awesome.

This one just molted yesterday so she (I think) is skinny. I just hand fed her a ton of honey and water and she just loves to hang out!

I sat and texted with her on my hand, while she gave her self a bath.

Here's another one not so skinny!

I have 2 of them. I got mine from Mantispets. They are very sweet and funny. Little Girl tried to scare the Tv away by displaying at it.

I don't think I'd trust myself to do that. I'd probably have to clean mantis guts off my screen periodically.

 

[Mime454]

Also, I really want to feel that shield. Does that make me weird? Like is is flexible? Or solid?

 

[fleurdejoo]

Good question! I will touch it tamale.

Pretty sure it's hard though.

 

[fleurdejoo]

Also u can't see so well here they have little lavender purple noggins.

Do you change your avatar every time you post? So confusing!
