Hi Rob, this sure is a cute one! This would fit right in with the others in the Marvelous Mantids of the World mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/15738247

They are kept as "pets" all over the world. My wife loves them.Only to hold for a while.

Thanks Lenny, this is the second nymph I've seen in as many weeks, this one jumped onto me and perched itself on my ear for a while, I love how fearless these insects are.

Rod.Right now here in Thailand there are many Mantid nymphs.An easy way to tell is by the body "folding over" Not easy (for me) at this stage.
