I really love these mantises. Devils flowers (Idolomantis diabolica) live in eastern Africa. These two little ones are really small, they are in the first instar, but they can already catch houseflies! After the next molting the color will change to light-brown.
After their last moult the color will change again to green-white. At the moment they measure about one centimeter, when the are grown-up they will measure 13- 14 centimeters (female) and up to 11 centimeters (male)
