so i know some members live in california where stagmomantis californica live

i would like some wild caught subadult/adult californica pairs

i can pay or trade or something but they MUST be californica, NOT LIMBATA

there r a few differences

first off, the top of a californica's abdomen has black lines, 3 in females, 4 in males, visible in subadults and adults, the 3rd one on the female can be seen under the wings

californica r smaller and in drier areas

they also have black spots inside the claw (in nymphs) and orange inside the forelegs (in adult females, especially brown ones)

lookin for 3 or 4 pairs total, perhaps from different members to have a little genetic variety

lemme know wat u can offer

thanx :D
