kind of like a mantis except for they hang on plants with their forearm and catch prey with their hind legs and go through complete metamorphasis.you can encounter these in california .This is a plead ,someone in california has to bring these into the hobby ,they are just amazing .according to bugguide they are common in san francisco bay area in central california.If someone is able to breed these in captivity id buy a larva or pupa considering an dult would most likely die during transit.And i dont mean regular scorpionflies , those we have in NY.

Thank you
