Pseudocreobotra Ocellata vs. Wahlbergii

[alex21]

Hi,

Can someone explain to me what are the main differences between the two #9 flower mantis, Pseudocreobotra Ocellata and Wahlbergii?

Thanks

since they're so alike in appearence it must be something real superficial that you might not notice, like the amount of yellow on the hindwings, the shape of the "#9", or they way they hold their antenna or something.

Take a look here and do a genus search. There are good pictures of both species and also a hybrid.
