HEllo All,
PErry, That is a nice Male L3, If you are planning on breeding this specie,make sure you slow down the male by keeping him cooler and feeding him less. Accelerate the females too by feeding more and increase the temperature.

Francisco,

Thanks for the tip. This one is definitely ahead of its sibling in molting. Perhaps the other one is female.

Beautiful pictures. I am wanting some of those. I have some chinese mantis oothecae I am waiting to hatch. I have 8 of them. I am trying to get more experience with mantises before I move onto more exotic species. Anyone out there interested in a chinese mantis ootheca? Let me know,

Tom
