Cheers,

Actuly i'm hopefully getting a good camera so maybe i'll get picks like Ians lol

 
Don't take this the wrong way ( don't want to be rude or anything ) but wouldn't it have been a lot easier to just search for flower mantis pics on gooogle the to ask people here to post their pics ?

for flower mantids just let gooogle search for images of:

Creobroter sp. ( Asian flower mantis species )

Pseudocreobotra wahlbergii / P. ocellata ( African flower mantids )

Blepharopsis mendica ( Devils' flower mantis )

Idolomantis diabolica ( True Devils' Mantis )

Harpagomantis sp. ( South African flower mantis )

Theopropus elegans ( South American flower mantis )

Hymenopus coronatus ( Orchid flower mantis )

Parhymenopus davidsoni ( Yellow orchid mantis )

Good luck

 
I had heard that the name for the Blepharopsis Mendica is infact the "thistle mantis". However, the name has been changed through mistake, and been carried on. The Idolomantios Diabolica is the devils flower mantis. I dont know if anybody else has heard this..

Cheers,

Ian
