Any help on identifying the exact specie of this
mantis would be greatly appreciated :)! Unfortunately,
I only had this one female, and due to not knowing
the exact specie, was unable to find a mate for
her. This is an amazing specie of mantis, as the
ootheca staid greenish-blue even after it dried
out.
Diet: Diurnal insects, Drosophila, houseflies,
crickets, flour worms, caterpillars, butterflies,
bees. The feed must be very diversified. To the
newly hatched larvae must be promptly offered Drosophila
flies.
