Does anyone have a picture(s) of an orchid mantis nymph or a boxer mantis nymph? I have what I thought was a boxer mantis nymph but he looks quite a bit like an orchid mantis. So I thought maybe I could get a photo reference? Thanks!

 
L1 orchids are black and red. After that they are pinkish or whitish with pointed eyes and "petals" on their legs.

Orchid nymphs:

Thanks very much Rick! Well, I'm sure I don't have an Orchid mantis then. They're so cool, I kind of hoped it was one!

Could be an Acromantis nymph.

Photo by Yen since I don't have any pictures of Acromantis nymphs.

I tried to get good pictures of the nymph, but our crappy camera didn't focus. I guess I'll just wait till he gets bigger! Darn. He looks a little like the above nypmh, but still slightly different. I'm sure I've seen it before though.
