I finally got around to it! Here's my mantis at L3 (if that means 2 molts):

By the way, can someone ID this for me? Thanks.

It's an Idolomantis Diabolica (Devils flower mantis).

Wonderful species. Have some for sale at the moment if you are interested!

Is there any way to surprise your mantis/ds to make them go into the spectacular threat pose, so I can photo wings?

Great pics Sal, never seen a mantis' chompers that close up before, they look really complicated!

Thanks, Jonny.
