Orchid Mantis Male

Description

The Orchid Mantis. A hobby classic.

$50 each for MALE ONLY 5th to 6th instar nymphs/immatures. These are feeding on house flies (see related products below). They are maybe 1 to 2 molts from maturity. No exact guarantee on size/instar. Most people will only purchase males if they have a female they want to breed and so this is a very rare breeder’s opportunity! (Females are being offered in a separate listing)

Hymenopus coronatus, that’s right, the Orchid Mantis. It is one of the most requested live pet bugs that people want to buy! There is no other mantis, maybe even insect, that generates the kind of attention this one gets. White bodies, often with pink highlights, lobed legs and a small horn above their pointy pink-striped, white eyes. This species is distinguishable from all other mantises, but then indistinguishable from the orchids and other flowers they may camouflage themselves on.

Do not, do NOT, miss out on these! While you’re thinking, somebody else is clicking! I love to see all the familiar names come out of the woodwork on stuff like this.

If out of stock, get on the wait list!
