   Awe-inspiring small creature – looks a small bit like Candlejack, too.

   @wowedo2

   uh huh i hear this too, very exciting seeing as my females ALWAYS eat the males before mating, apparently these are a breeze to breed, does anyone know how large fully grown they are??

    You can they’re around $15 for a young adult I believe and $30 for an eggcase.

    I have one phyllocrania paradoxa. These mantises deserve their name indeed. My paradoxa behaves in a very peculiar way, for a mantis, I mean… But it’s a fantastic mantis, one of the coolest looking species…

    Over 2000, there are at least that many available as pets.
