Besides Idolos, what is the prettiest, largest flower mantis? Id like to get a few but I don't know which ones I should buy. But I'd like some with intermediate level care and aren't too pricy , preferably that grow to a good size such as 3-4 in. or more?? What should I get? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

 
Blepharopsis mendica is larger than creos and P.W.'s, but requires extra heat and is not the easiest to breed.

 
Yes I realize that but I'd like something that is easy to care for and eats a variety, not just mainly flying insects, and one that has better molting success rates. :) I've kept idolos like this girl but I'd like something easier. Although they do look cool. Especially when adult!

And thanks for the info everyone.
