Orchid Mantis - very pink adult female
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 вер 2024
- Adult female Hymenopus coronatus (Malaysian Orchid Mantis) fresh after molt. The pink will fade then return during her cycle of producing oothecae. She grooms herself like a cat by wetting bristles on the inner side of her craws then rubbing them over her face and eyes.
Soundtrack by Precarious

she is absolutely stunning! props on the care, and raising her 👏 👍
Why do this music make me feel like I'm hiding in a pod bay from Alien
1:32 Aww she's doing the cat thing :3
Why the fuck would someone vote this down? Incredible footage, thanks so much for this.
Haha! Nearly every one of my videos has multiple thumbs down. Bug haters gonna hate.
+precarious333 yes I agree.
+precarious333 Hell man, I guess so...
+precarious333 I had someone actually come onto my channel and harass me for no reason other than my mantis collection telling me to 'play video games' because I'm 'sad'. It seems as though the people who have no life seem to be aggravated by biology studiers.
i can tell from having orchids that that isn't camera shake, but the mantis swaying, lol! orchids are so cute when they dance
I'm so glad you have this up cause I've been looking everywhere to see a fully grown orchid mantis now I can finally draw one fully grown thank you and I must say yours is very beautiful. I'm really not a fan of bugs myself they are interesting, and funny that I draw cartoon bugs lol, but mantis would freak me out cause of their eyes. But I don't find the orchid mantis that way but only see the beauty in this type of mantis.
I've got a pretty adult female too if you need more references!
+Natalie Rose that's awesome thank you
Their eyes are metallic! Amazing!
WOW I've never seen an adult that pink! Amazing!!
A preying mantis store? No, I only work in the mantis section of a Walmart. ;D
They're easy to keep so long as you keep humidity up and can produce lots of blue bottle flies for them to eat. Not hard to get adults. Breeding is a different story which is why they aren't cheap.
Beautiful. I am new to the hobby and went with the more tolerant Giant asian. I am falling in love with this insect! Such a joy to keep.
Pink is like the blonde for mantids XD
Wow, it cleans itself just like a cat.
She’s magnificent. 🌸🌸🌺🌸 🌸
For some reason I want to get on my knees and start bowing to it
Fascinating! 🖖
Great video, friend! Now I want BAD a pink mantid for myself ))
wow very nice video!
Such creepy music for such a beautiful creature :P
All the mantis vids have creepy music.
The pink will return?! That's crazy!
it's like a beautiful version of cockroach 😅
They are related to cockroaches so you are correct!
😂😂 haha!!!!
W H A T
@@mitchj.2357 cockroaches are their closest relative
So So Cute. I just love all of your videos.
So friken cool!
I hate to be that guy, but I am having the WORST time finding the soundtrack to this video!
It fits it so well and I get really zenned out watching nature at work.

Do you mean a download of the music? There is none yet. I'm going to do my best to get all of that set up in the coming year. I haven't had a music studio set up for a couple years but I've actually been getting things in place this week. I'm taking a break from installing my modular synth as I sit down to reply to you. This particular track is called 'Re-Incorporated' and will be part of a release of ambient soundscapes tentatively titles 'Strange Places'. There are 24 tracks total. I'll be sure to make some kind of announcement when the time comes so if you are a subscriber to this channel and get notifications you'll find out. Thanks for watching!
precarious333 You actually made that track? o:
That's stupendous!!
+Azelliz Remtora
Ha-ha! Thanks. Yeah, I make all the music for my videos. I thought you knew and that's why you were asking. I try to combine all my interests; raising insects, video and music production. This is one of the ambient tracks I made specifically to use as music beds in the videos. They are all improvisational, recorded in one pass. People seem to like them, which I never expected.
So pretty. Mine is white.
I think it’s a male
Nice... My friend told me they can found in Cameron highlands Malaysia .
that moment when you know she literally has killer looks
What a beautiful specimen
Your macro shots and editing are wayyy better than natgeo and discovery. Just my opinion.
I dont mind if they arent cheap because I think that they are the most amazing looking invertebrate, its just that no where seems to have them in stock,
are they hard to keep? Ive had green congo mantises in the past
so freakin gorgeous!!!!! I simply MUST HAVE ONE!!!!
They are beautiful insects and very fun pets.
I gotta say! What camera did u use? I'm looking for a great macro camera to record my mantises too! Thanx for sharing! ;)
Sorry I didn't reply sooner. I use the Canon HF S200. Discontinued and I don't know what model is equivalent.
I love all your videos! How do you find, collect, keep, and maintain these beautiful bugs? I'm amazed at how healthy, beautiful and happy they are! The only ones I find around my garden on rare occasions are the common green ones. Even then I don't know how to catch and keep them, so I just leave them alone. I really hate it when the birds swoop down and eat them. They are so beautiful!
:(
Thank you! I put a lot of work into keeping my bugs happy and healthy so thanks for noticing. You can have fun with the mantids in your garden too. Here are some old videos of a large one I found in my garden. You can see how to handle them.
Wild Chinese Mantis pt.1 - eats butterfly & hangs with bumble bee
Wild Chinese Mantis pt.2 - eats black soldier flies
Wild Chinese Mantis pt.3 - eats butterfly & honey!
Thank you for the links! :)
Very alien looking but also beautiful.
Join the UK mantid forum and ask around. They won't be cheap.
They're very hard to get in the US. I don't know where you'd find them. Occasionally the sites that sell mantids have them but at ridiculous prices.
Do you work at a praying mantis store, is that how you get all these mantises, or did you just buys these or hatch them as pets?
beautiful.
can female orchid mantises fly? they have rather large wings unlike the females of a lot of other mantis species
What camera do you use to shoot these amazing videos !
I believe this was the Canon HFS200 camcorder with Raynox M-250 add-on lens. Very affordable setup.
precarious333 Thank you 😃
That what orchid mantis do!!!!!
REALLY BEUTIFUL!!
Equal parts scary and beautiful.
I think it's very pretty
Freakin awesome👍
Is there a way to make them more pink or do they just turn pink with age?
My mantis was nearly this pink after her final molt, but it's now faded to greenish white. Did that happen with yours too?
+Natalie Rose
I've noticed they go through phases as adults where they pass back and forth from pink to normal color. Not sure if it's in sync with their egg production or what. Some are naturally way more pink than others but it seems they all get more pink at certain points that come and go. Chances are the pink will come back to yours.
Beautiful ♡
my girlfreing realy wants one of these but i live in the us im realy not that concerned about priceing she loves mantids we recently lost our ghost mantis due to old age any info would be apeciated
They've been in very short supply this season. I haven't seen any for sale.
what kind of camera do you use?
I used a Canon HF S200 video camera. I've since upgraded to HF G30 for the larger sensor.
wow this is beauty
Around 2:10.... Is that noise the ghost crying from the Silent Hills demo?
Nope. All sounds generated by a patch in Camel Audio's Alchemy synth, a truly awesome softsynth.
Most of my music tends to be dark, even these more ambient soundtrack pieces. I may be damaged... 8^{
+precarious333 all good 😆👍🏼
beautiful 😍
Hi precarious. I have 3 female orchids and 1 male orchid. How long after maturity are they ready to mate? Some people are saying 2 weeks others are saying 2 months. Thanks.
Its beautiful AND scary. Funny how it can be both XD
I am in the Us where do u get those from?
i asked my grandmom for an orchid princess for chirstmas
mantis*
Hahaha, I made a great decision in subscribing to you!!!
Not too far for you!
I'd love to own an orchid mantis, any idea where I could get a hold of one?
im from the uk
Haw do u get them to molt so wick
I don't. Some people speed them up by keeping temps around 90. I keep mine only around 75-80 so molting takes more time but they can collect more food between molts.
IF u get one can u let me know as well ? I have been searching for long time with no luck so please again let me know ok
Lol I have a ghost mantis and I had him on my head for an hour and he was on my wall above me for an hour also util I coaxed him down
it reminds me of lurantis
do you know any websites that sell orchids in the US
No, they are very hard to come by because they are difficult to breed. When sites do have them they're ridiculously expensive.
thanks
chris musi just got one for £10 on www.bugzuk.com/insects/praying-mantis/ if somehow your still looking
Andrew Caldwell thanks, I am still looking for one actually.
wait two days and ill give you feedback
Not going to lie I'm kind of jealous, tried everything, my girl is just white it seems, no pink sadly.
Pink:1
do you have any orchid mantises for sale?
Anime&Review
No, I'm working on getting a breeding group again.
Cool! Do you know where to get these orchids? I have been searching, but no luck...
Anime&Review
They are very hard to come by and, as you can imagine, demand far exceeds availability. When they do crop up they go very fast and they aren't cheap. I don't know anyone currently selling. It took me two years to get the nymphs I have now. Not telling you that to be discouraging. Just letting you know what to expect. This is by far the most popular species to keep as pets.
All I can suggest is keep an eye on mantispets.com or join mantidforum.net and keep an eye on the sale ads.
+jkh301
Nope. I have some fresh adults so hopefully I get them bred and they make lots of little black and red babies.
+jkh301
First instar is black and red.

*IT COULD HAVE BEEN PINKER!!* that shade is hardly worthy of a "very"
Ac1dG0d Custom Doom mod mapper Its pretty damn pink actually.
yes "pretty" would have been a better word then "very" it's "pretty pink" I will accept that. Its pretty pink, not "very" half of the dam thing is pretty white
Your cat it's broken
She's a good kitty!
