This is such a fantastic species. Roughly the same size as an adult female African (Sphodromantis lineola) but built like tank.

I've seen these walking around with an adult locust in one forearm Shocked

Fantastic pics Rob. Cool

They seem to be capable of taking some pretty hefty food items to say the least! Shocked

Where are they from?

Thanks Peter, about time I posted eh ?!"

They originate from southern and central Africa.

They always amaze me with their tenacity and strike before they think attitude Wink
