SALE     g79a   This is a beautiful colorful mantis~
It is showcased in a white plastic frame with an elasticity film insert which allows you to easily see both sides of the mantis and keep him safe and clean at the same time.   Great addition to any collection or classroom educational tool!
Framed Display Approx. Dimensions:5 x 5 x 2"
This is nicely showcased in a shadowbox type frame that suspends him in a clear elasticity film so both sides may be viewed unobstructed and also gives the specimen the
illusion of "floating"!
This can be opened but I advise against it as the specimens or the elasticity strip usually are damaged when you open the display.  If the film in your display starts to stick together or gets some bubbles in it you can open the case very slowly so the film releases from both side and close again very slowly and the problem should be resolved.  If the film gets touched or is in a hot area this can happen but it is a very easy fix also s
ometimes in shipping the specimen can shift a little in the display.  If this happens please contact us and we will direct you on a quick and easy fix.
Once the display has been opened returns are no longer accepted.
HANGING DISPLAYS:  The floating displays all have removable bases so if you would like,  just a piece or two of Velcro or command strip will mount these right to your wall without a problem.
The case will keep him clean and safe for years to come!
Species-Creobroter gemmatus
Males grow to about 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) and females are slightly larger. They prefer a humid environment and live about nine months in captivity. Females can be cannibalistic but males are fairly communal. Though infrequent, cannibalism among C. germmatus is nevertheless more common than among other flower mantises.
They moult 8 times to become an adult and can take between 2 and 5 months to mature depending on food and temperature. They are the smallest yet most widespread Creobroter species. They make easy pets with proper care and it is said there is a 90% survival rate among nymphs.
