Hi all, Joe here, today I have a bit of info about the orchid mantis.

 This is is my orchid mantis. It’s about one and a half centimetres long and its about one month old.

hymenopus coronatus or the orchid mantis is generally found in rainforests in south-east Asia. They are very bloodthirsty insects and females will often eat the male after mating. the males grow to roughly 1 inch and the females grow to 8cm.
