No pain no gain... rare always means risk.

true. But ya know, there's a big risk in importing ooths. They could hatch on the way, they could be infertile, etc. I don't take chances like that.

So I was bored last night and was looking through wikipedia's list of mantid species and came up with a few I really like the look of.

Pachymantis bicingulata: http://pix.bay.to/albums/macro-2012-06-24-lower-pierce/DSC_0695.jpg

Nilomantis floweri: http://igm.mantisonline.info/igm-images/250/nilomantis%201.jpg

Neomantis australis: http://v2.boldsystems.org/pics/_w300/VAQT/gvc10415%2B1224361848.jpg

Majangela sp. : http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7111/7461115246_315b26080e_z.jpg

Decimiana sp. : http://www.einet.dk/galleri/billeder/1-2.jpg

and Brancsikia sp. : http://mantodea.speciesfile.org/Common/editImgSnd/GetThumb.aspx?ImageID=39&Width=640

Are probably my favorites/dream mantids that I could find.
