Pretty in pink...

---

This is my new tiny Empusa Pennata(pink subspecies). This pink version was a lucky find from a specialist breeder. I have never seen them for sale before and to be honest there isn't an official common name despite searching all over the internet. The closest I can get is a Pink Conehead Mantis. The Conehead Mantids  are found all over Europe but mostly Spain, The pink is very minimal at the moment, there is a pink stripe on it's head and back. It is a very active hunter and chases after it's food. ​In this picture it is nibbling it's back foot. More pictures to follow...
