I found 2 beautiful odontomantis nymphs today, both same size of about 1 cm.

1st nymph

2nd nymph

They look like they have a stinger at the end of their butts, just like an ant :lol:

They are a fast species, how u catch them?

I just use a container and cover the leaf they are on and wait till they walk to the wall of the container.

How do you guys find such tiny things? I've been looking for mantids in the wild for quite a while now (boy what a tongue twister) and yet to have found anything.
