Man these common names, I hate them... if everybody just used the scientific name, there would be less problems... There are so many species of mantids, have you got pics?

the guy in the shop is getting the scientific name as he couldnt remember it :rolleyes:

its not even 1 inch long and my camera wont get a decent pic of it.ill try but no promises.

if you have any idea on what the scientific name is i can do a search on google and see if it looks like it.

just so you know, a peruvian giant (scolopendra gigantea) is a huge centipede...not mantis so unless theres a peruvian giant mantis, which ive never heard of, then most of the forums will be on pedes. try the "other inverts" section and see what you can find:D {D
