Neogonodactylus wennerae is what i was thinking

Where in the us and how much is it in the store? I’m just curious

If you can get another pic of the smashers, it might be easier to id about how big is it?

 

[Hadla]

My best guess is japonicus based on all pics in the list of stomatopods

Not havanensis cause it’s not mottled at all and there’s no red spot on the antennal scales

 

[mechman_22]

i pick little guy up today. some better shots i hope, missing one of its raptorial
appendage

 

[Loganberry]
