"Spiny Flower mantis" Known as "Number 9" because of their most interesting markings on their wings. They are a bit skittish as they seem to use the threat display often though they love to flash their wings. I call them "Drama Queens" as they seem to love to display their wings making them look like giant eyed predators, though they are sweet and gentle
The baby nymphs are red and black and they have been called "Ninja Mantis" Not your typical mantis as they resemble beautiful flowers. They are a bit more difficult requiring higher humidity though I find them to be friendly and curious. They seem to love being held.They are considered the most beautiful and different species
