Smallest Mantis

[Idolofreak]

Anyone know what's the world's smallest mantis? Just curious.

I know for a fact that my Acontista Multicolors are pretty darn small.

i've been wondering about this for some time too..

I know they aren't the smallest, but Odontomantis males are plenty small already (and i don't have big fingers)

Okay just did some more advanced Googling and found out it's Bolbe pygmaea, only 1 cm long as an adult! Compare that to the world's largest, Ischnomantis gigas (Like a foot long)!
