Yersiniops Grasshopper Mantis

Description

The Yersiniops grasshopper mantis is a small native Arizona species. The genus is represented by two species in the SW USA. At maturity they barely reach an inch but we offer these small mantises here as a hobby novelty.

Currently available as immatures, half grown or larger. Some may be adults. They are wingless at maturity. No guarantees on sexes or sizes, sorry.

They do fine on fruit flies, although they are capable of taking down house fly sized prey when they are large enough.

$5 each
