p.1 #3 · Metallyticus sp. mantis!!!

Gorgeous photos of an amazing animal. For us manto-philes, the genus is one of the most mysterious. If you Google "wieland mantis' you'll find a pdf that has basically everything known about them (and there is a photo of your animal, but the species is not given).
Thanks for posting the great photos!
