Mantis (2)

Another of the Mantids that i used to breed, this one is the female and as you can see, its wings have fully developed meaning that it has reached adulthood. This species of Mantids/Mantis are quite small (see how big my finger looks), the largest size they grow to is about 1.5 inches to 2 inches.
