mantis help

[danlee78]

got my LR, got it cured so threw everything in at once.

then, 3 days later (yesterday) got my mantis...

he's blue and green...1.5 inches long

does anybody kno how fast he will grow?

pics needed if you want an ID on it. You would need to ID it to even be able to guess how fast it will grow.

[danlee78]

what kind of mantis is this?

my friend thinks its Gonodactylaceus falcatus

[justinl]

Nah, meral spot on this guy is orange. G. falcatus has white ones. I think you have either G. glabrous or G. graphurus. Too hard to see if it has a median carinule on the sixth abdominal segment, so i cant distinguish between the two. They both have identical care requirements anyways though.
