Gambian Spotted-eye flower mantis
Pseudoharpax virescens
|
(4-8-07)
I received ootheca from Germany about few weeks ago. Two of them hatched out few days ago, they resembled a smaller version of
Asian flower mantis (Creobotra sp.). They are as small as Oxypilus but able to handle larger prey so not problem feeding on D.
melanogaster. They have sharp pointy eyes even at L1.

Some of my spotted eye fllower mantis have molted into L5, they are actually not skittish and will go for flies that is larger that its own
size! This species is not too particular about food. They are quite hardy and can be kept without either high or low humidity.
