My Mantis

While collecting beetles at white sheet, these two creature came to me, at first, this little white and beautiful that seems like walking flower to me at first sight, yes, it's Hymenopus Coronatus.


I think it's a newborn, because from it size, it's quite small for mantis.Here's another picture of how it camouflage.


Well, for the second mantis, it's Parablepharis Kuhlii, at first sight, I thought that it just a dried leaf who stuck on the sheet, then when I try to remove it, it's attacked me, I'm surprised, then I'm pull out my flash light from my pouch, try to know what exactly this thing, then I can see it 's head, well, definitely it's a mantis too.

This is my first time seeing this species, I didn't know it name, then I'm emailed my friend from Ireland who loves mantis, he told me it name, well, here you goes.Check the pictures for yourself.


And here's from the back.


See, how gorgeous their both, to me it's wonderful.
