What species of Acanthops is this?

[Precarious]

Maybe it is. I was able to find one short list of Pseudoacanthops species:



Pseudacanthops angulata
(LICHTENSTEIN, 1802)


Pseudacanthops caelebs
(SAUSSURE, 1869)


Pseudacanthops lobipes
LA GRECA & LOMBARDO, 1997


Pseudacanthops
spinulosa
(SAUSSURE, 1870)

Good job, Meagan!

By the way, whatever you do don't search "Pseudacanthops" at Google images. :mellow:

If you have a list going I most definitely want in. That is one amazing looking mantid! Such intricacy in it's design.

EDIT: What's the care like?

Ohhh I know.. It's bad. Very bad. Damn you, Google!

Yeah, so far as I know, this is Pseudacanthops sp. "Ecuadorian mantis ". Note that "Pseudoacanthops" is invalid, a misspelling by association. And now I have to go and count my as yet unhatched chickens!

I really like this one have you find the name yet?

 

[frogparty]

This is a mantid worthy of a jungle vivarium for sure. You could have a prize for houseguests who actually succeed in finding it!

Awesome looking mantis. I want one.
