      Hierodula venosa, or Hierodula golden, is similar to other Hierodula species in that it is significant; however, it is more of a golden color most of the time than green. This is one of the larger species in the hobby. It is very aggressive with prey and fun to keep. These are L2 and eating fruit flies or house flies.

        Note: ooths are never guaranteed.

        We confirm they are fertile when sent; however, they require expert care to hatch. They can be easily compromised while incubating. Conditions for incubating require experienced handling, and we assume no responsibility.
