Horse head hopper

pseudoproscopia latirostris

These things are so weird, I'd love to hear from the folks over seas if they've tried these as feeders? Pets? These are siiickly cool in my book. Let us all know what your experience has been for these marvelous looking creatures! These are native to Peru.

Really hope one day us states' peoples will be legally allowed to keeper and raise these cool insects as pets, indian sticks are nice feeders.

wow thats crazy lookin lol i totally agree with you lol caught my first praying mantis the other day and that made my my day but wow thats way cooler than my meager meaningless mantis...

 

[ColorCham427]

don't say that! lol, mantids are all special and cool. These are just... DIFFERENT from anything I've ever laid eyes on. I have held and looked at some pretty cool bugs in person, tons of phasmid species and tons of mantid species, but these things are just WEIRD. I love weird things btw
