The spiny flower mantis Pseudocreobotra wahlbergi is a species everybody must experience. They used to appear in the pet stores from time to time and have been circulating around the US hobby for 20+ years. They are larger than the Creobroter species we sometimes see, and with nearly twice the body mass. Better yet, they have more striping and little flanges all over their bodies. They were once popularly referred to as #9 mantises for the symbol-like pattern on their backs.
~L2/L3 or so nymphs (have shed their skin 1 or 2 times). $15 each, unsexed. Feeding on D. hydei fruit flies or house flies.

Came in PERFECT condition, they was on the little grabby spot on the ceiling of the delicup. Heatpack kept them perfectly warm. Precious little baby ate right after I got the cage set up.

My little guy came in healthy, and active. The same can be said for the flightless fruit flies. Service was great.
