I read somewhere that certain species can exceed 14"!
And I think I also read somewhere about a species near Hawaii that are growing abnormaly larger in poluted water's.... one's that are normally 8" are now exceeding 12"

 

[kdblove_99]

Yes, I believe the one Cameron has can get to 15".

Can you imagine a 15",mantis, that is sick!!!!!
