Need identification for this 0.5cm mantid nymph
He's so tiny but has already eaten a ant his size. Extremely cute too! Any ideas on what species he is? He's orange all over.

i dont think individual ants pose much of a danger. yes some can bite and sting but mantids can deal with this. of course, a whole group of them is a different story, but fed individually there shouldn't be much problem. i have no idea about genus or species but a young instar mantis in it's natural climate, shouldnt be more than a couple of weeks between moults i would imagine. of course, this is assuming you keep it well fed.

I have heard of a red species of statillia that resides in that area, could be that?

I don't know what species of mantid that is but wow, very striking (no pun intended) indeed.
