I think you posted this in the wrong place. Maybe a mod would be kind enough to move it to the invert section and we can then help you out.

as far as i know that latin name for Orchid Mantis is indeed Hymenopus Coronatus tho im not the best with latin names so wait till somone else can double check this.
there a georgious mantis btw, tho need to be kept warmer then other mantis incase you didnt know that already. Jay

You are quite correct Jay on the latin name. I have quite a few of these and they all do well at room temp with no extra heating and I spray them lightly every 2-3 days.
They are very voracious feeders and will quite happily take on flying prey insects double their size. Very small and pretty mantids.
