It's called false garden mantis/pseudomantis albofimbriata despite it being a true mantis because it's a little different to the mantis genus... So it's more like "slightly different mantis" haha.
The female can't fly + it has those dark spots on its femurs
Thank you!! 🥰
Wowww they really truly want to be picked up? 🥺🥹 That's so so cute, agh, I can't wait to keep one someday! I just need to get comfortable with keeping also their live feed aha 🫣
Thank you!!!
Oh thank you! I'm so glad you think so! I'm very new to insectoid art and it is tricky, hahaha... But I want to do sooo much more, more Quirrel coming up 🥹
She was so small here! 😭
The false garden mantis I have been keeping an eye on in the garden has grown into an adult. Say hi to the beautiful lady 🥹
Aren't they great?! I can't think of a more expressive bug, they're just so cute, the way they turn their head to look at you 🥹 I don't know much about the silliness of captive bred mantises but I hope to experience this someday
Thank you so much, that's very kind of you to say!! ☺️
Hehehe they're so coy 🙂↕️
Most definitely!
Thank you!!
Thank you so much!!
Aww thank you! It's such a tricky subject for me but I want to draw lots more hahaha
Had a go at some pixel art 🙂↕️
