The fourth one down on Roy's List is a juvenile under 2.5 inches. The yellow body is fairly typical although I have seen 2 inch animals with full typical adult coloration.

If I just ordered what I think I ordered, I'll be able to provide you with my own pictures of a 1.5" Peacock next week.

Highly unlikely. I have never seen one that small for sale. In fact, I have never seen one that small period.

dismalorb, you may be thinking on a Odontodactlyus havanesis, which is small and has similar coloration to a Odontodactylus scyllarus:
O. havanensis (2")




O. scyllarus (~6"):

I think one post would have done fine but thanks. The one I had bought as a Peacock mantis before I really looked into what one looked like kind of looks like a G.Chiragra 3rd picture down in body color with white meral spots but with alot of bright red on her uropods, antennas and in each of her body segments also on the tip of the tail and legs are orange, Yes I did sex it as a female if I even did that right, There are two noticable flaps just before her first legs! If any one has a G. Chragra please send pics.
