Again, beautiful photos. It's a shame the Idolomantis do not retain their pink/purple colouring...I think this is a great age to photograph them.

how did you get the purple?! Its so beautiful!!!

[Insectchat]

The purple is their natural colouring as young. As they grow, they turn more beige. Would be nice if they kept some of the purple though :)

Beautiful species! The body structure and coloration are unreal! Too bad they won't keep that coloration! Nevertheless, I'll take 10 :p
