Pseudocreobotra is a genus of flower mantises that contains several species below it. Each species looks strikingly similar to each other in color and appearance, but vary slightly in size. All specimens in this genus are native to Sub-Saharan Africa, and are known for having a prominent spiral-shaped eyespot on their forewings that gives them a striking deimatic display, as well as spiny protrusions on the underside of their abdomens as adults. They are also visually similar to the Creobroter flower mantises of Asia, but do belong to different subfamilies. Although they are sometimes difficult to breed in captivity, due to high aggression on the part of the females, they are otherwise easy to rear in captivity.
The Spiny Flower Mantis (Pseudocreobotra wahlbergii) is one of the most sought-after mantises in the hobby due to their vibrant colors and striking beauty.
As early instar nymphs, they are almost completely black. But as the nymphs grow, their colors can change drastically with each molt, and they can have a combination of stripes, spots and patches of any color of the rainbow!
Native to sub-saharan Africa, the Spiny Flower Mantis likes low humidity, warm temperatures, and a lot of ventilation. It is best to keep temperatures around 80-85°F, and relative humidity (RH) between 40% and 60% for them. Therefore, they should be kept in well-ventilated enclosures such as mesh or screen cages, with silk plants (such as an Ivy Branch, Leafy Branch, Orchid Flower, or White Flower) and an easily disposable substrate such as sphagnum moss, or even just a paper towel that you can change once a week.
The mantises currently for sale are generally 2nd or 3rd instar (L2/L3), meaning they have already molted 1-2 times. They are currently eating Blue Bottle Flies so be sure to have the proper prey items on hand when your mantis arrives.

MY DOG LOVES IT
Size: 20.0"L x 20.0"W x 6.0''TH, Style: Round, Pattern Name: Bed
MY CHIHUAHUA WON'T GET OUT OF THIS BED! she loves it! from the first moment we brought it in and put it on the floor. she gently scratches at the sides and cuddles in with her blankey and likes she's not there. ohhh... great value for the price! nice size, big enough for both of my chihuahuas to lay in comfortably. soft, but very sturdy sides, the bottom is fluffy, padded very well. the outside bottom, there is a non stick covering so the bed doesn't scootch around on tile floor, it stays put.

It's lasted
Size: 20.0"L x 20.0"W x 6.0''TH, Style: Round, Pattern Name: Bed
I've had this bed for 5 years and it is still in great shape. Washes up in the washing machine just fine. My littlest dog absolutely loves it and is lost when our other bigger dog steals it. She barely fits in it but she loves it too. Ha! Good quality at a good price. Couldn't ask for more.

My Puppy Loves It.
Size: 20.0"L x 20.0"W x 6.0''TH, Style: Round, Pattern Name: Bed
I didn't know what to expect when I saw this advertised, but some reviews said that their puppy had chewed on it and it was still holding up with no holes. So, I decided to get it and see for myself. I have to say that my puppy loves it and chews on it and it is holding up very well. No holes yet and I suspect after all her chewing and no holes, there won't be any. Nice size for a 25 pound dog and smaller. Well built and nice looking bed. It has enough padding to make it soft for my puppy. I got it big enough, so she can grow into it, too. Well satisfied and I do recommend it.

Great basic dog bed
Size: 20.0"L x 20.0"W x 6.0''TH, Style: Round, Pattern Name: Bed
We really needed additional places for my dog to rest, besides hanging out on the furniture. He gets to be a little jerky and presumptuous, thinking he owns the joint when he lies all over the bed and couches. So the extra dog beds were necessary additions to the house. He took to this one right away. Sure, he still will try to sneak onto the human bed, the couch, the chair - especially when food is involved in the picture. But he does like this bed. The only real negative I have is that it's whitish on top. It shows dirt kind of easily and time will tell how well it will stand to multiple washings. It's soft. It's cushy. It looks pretty descent for a dog bed. He can curl up in it nicely and relax. Basically it does what it should and he seems relatively happy to hang out on it. Now, if Amazon could make a dog bed that could actually train the dog - that would be incredible!

Better than beds I've spent double the money on!
Size: 20.0"L x 20.0"W x 6.0''TH, Style: Round, Pattern Name: Bed
This bed is actually amazing for the price. My chihuahua digs a hole through every bed he's ever had except this one. The bottom actually went flat before he was able to dig a hole into the fabric. But since its such a great bed, i cut open the bottom and restuffed it from the filling from an old pillow and stitched it back up so he can keep enjoying it. Abd if he eventually does dig a hole in it, ill be rebuying this same bed.
