Orchid mantis (Hymenopus coronatus)

An adult female is approximately 6 to 7 cm long, while the male is only about 2,5 cm. This size difference is definitely not to be missed! Because the male is that much smaller, he also matures earlier than the female (he does not need so much time to grow). The male and female also differ in appearance; the adult male has white wings with a pink-orange body, almost no lobes on the legs and long wings, while the female can vary in color and has large lobes on the legs. On her back the female has a green spot, while the male does not have this green spot but rather a brownish spot.
