Eremiaphila sp.
desert mantis. Requires hot dry environment. The desert mantis is able to camouflage so well into its habitat. They live molt and lay ooths in the sand. They thrive in the most unforgivable environment in the desert where temperatures reach well over 100F and extremely dry. I have some pairs L4 and adults for breeding This is not a mantis for beginners Breeding successfully now ooth laid 6/31/2017
All Eremiaphilidae show basically the same morphological situation.
(the subgenital plate)
is partly covered by the preceding sternite
The latter carries two sturdy, ventral spines that
are elongated and pointed. These are used for digging burying oothecae below the surface.. While they are rather slender at their bases in all Eremiaphila species
