I’ve finally found a Brunneria borealis, a Brunner’s mantis!! I caught like 8 of these sexy bitches. This is an all female, parthenogenic species of mantis. They’re super cool and I’ve literally been looking for them for 3 years lmao

everyone meet string bean the brunneria sp mantis
the name speaks for itself so let's just speak about the unusual aspects of this species - brunneria borealis does not breed sexually and all the adults are female. it is the only species that can reproduce parthenogenetically. another unusual quality is its diet - this species enjoys eating grass-dwelling walkingsticks.
