Mantis ID

[Christer T]

I have a Mantis in my tank that is darkblue to black with clear blue dots. Is there someone who can tell me what species it might be and how large it will grow?

 

[Gonodactylus]

Without seeing it, I can only guess. If it is a smasher, it could be Haptosquilla glyptocercus. Maximum size would be around 35 mm.

If it is a spearer, it could be Pseudosquilla ciliata. Maximum size is 95 mm.
