As described by their name, the Orchid Mantis look like…and orchid. With white/pink projections over their legs, neck, and abdomen, they can make a fantastic camouflage when placed on an orchid. Males are distinctively smaller than females, and will not appear to grow through sheds of the skin. As adult, both species possess fully grown wings, and the male can fly very well. Females can reach up to 6cm, wild caught specimens usually being slightly longer. Males will reach a maximum of 3cm, and are mostly under half the length of the female! This is the easiest way of determining sex, but can also be done by using the usual method, 8 segments for the male, and 6 or 7 for the female.
