#brunners mantis

I’ve finally found a Brunneria borealis, a Brunner’s mantis!! I caught like 8 of these sexy bitches. This is an all female, parthenogenic species of mantis. They’re super cool and I’ve literally been looking for them for 3 years lmao

I can’t believe my bf found a grass mantis and DIDNT catch it for me!!! 🥺

It’s the only other mantis in my area I’ve yet to find. Look how slender it is. It’s also the only one suspected to be parthenogenic. I’m so sad 😭
