And this is a baby mantis, its size is still very small and still has a very unique appearance. When it is young, this mantis is still black, but as it gets older, the color will also change. When it is an adult, this mantis will generally be green, but in some other areas I also found this mantis brown. I can't be sure how big this mantis can grow, because I've also found this puppeteer in a very large size. When he was small I couldn't see any wing shape, but when he was an adult this mantis had a wing size that was even bigger than his body size. Even though he was still small we shouldn't underestimate this mantis, because he could run and hide behind the leaves very quickly, so to be able to capture its beauty we have to do it slowly and carefully. I managed to find this mantis baby in front of my house, precisely on top of the ornamental plants, at that time my older sister was watering the plants, because of the uniqueness of this mantis that made me interested in photographing it.

Okay everyone, now I will share some pictures of these baby mantis here.
