More Spiny Flower Mantis Pics

So – I have thoroughly been enjoying my little spiny flower mantises. They are quite perky and active when young and quite hungry and ferocious when the females become adult. A friend of mine told me that they can get along quite well. What he forgot to tell me was that the females DO NOT get along well when they molt to adult. It may even be wise to separate the females by subadult. In any case, they have been quite fun so far!

Almost done. Adult females Spiny Flower mantids can get quite hungry!
