Orchid Mantis Subadult Male

Description

This listing is ONLY for subadult male orchid mantises. They are one or two molts from maturity, for those breeders out there with a lonely female.

Hymenopus coronatus, that’s right, 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.

Note: photo on page is of a female, not the males sold through this listing.
