An old photo of two female Pseudocreobotra wahlbergiis I had many years ago. The female on the right was recently moulted, and it turn a more green colour later, but she was always a muddier green, almost a camo style.

Still one of my favourite species.

what are your memories about your ids?? how did you discover those memories?

i remember most of my canon stuff and i’m still discovering more about myself and who i was in the past!

usually rewatching and playing things relating to my canon helps me with my memories, otherwise i usually have times where i get sort of flashbacks or dreams relating to the memories. (I don’t know the proper term for that if there is a proper term for it)

i have a lot of memories about my canons, so if you want to know about my memories of a certain character i ID with it’d be easier than explaining all of them imo

i hope this doesn’t sound weird aaa i’m just trying to explain this to the best of my ability ;;

Spiny Flower Mantis - Pseudocreobotra wahlbergii

Despite its appearance, with brilliant colors and camouflaging adornments, the Spiny Flower Mantis, Pseudocreobotra wahlbergii (Mantodea - Hymenopodidae), is a skillful predator. Measuring only 3 to 5 cm long, this African mantis is a mostly passive hunter, preferring to snatch pollinating insects from the air rather than wandering in search of prey. 

As with other mantids, mating can be a tricky business for males, who must stay alert or risk becoming the female's next meal. While there is evidence that these cannibalistic tendencies may be somewhat exaggerated in regard to mating habits, mantids aren't averse to feasting on their own kind when hungry or overcrowded. 

When threatened, the Spiny Flower Mantis will rear up and extend these wings, giving it the appearance of a much more intimidating creature with large, golden eyes.
