Red and Black Mantids?

I recently got a Phyllocrania Paradoxa ( Ghost Mantis ) and the second my brother got to hold it, he wanted one. He said he wanted a red and black mantis. Anyone have any recommendations?

Indian flowers look kind of red and black as they are growing, but when they are adults they lose that coloring.

L1 orchids are red and black, and super cool looking in my opinion, but they lose that entirely in their first molt, so that wouldn't be a viable option unfortunately.  Not sure of any others.

Ghost come in Black, and a maroon deep red...
