Hello I am a happy owner of some isopods and have taken care of other animals before too, I want to get a mantis and obviously I've been looking up how to care for them but need an experienced person's opinion on this, I am looking for a good starter mantis.

The kind of mantis I am looking for;

•Small but not tiny (ideally can fit on my palm) since I want a nice decent size but nothing that'll take TOO much space y'know?

•Good starter (easier compared to others).

•A nice color and look (I really like the ones that resemble flowers but I'm not picky).

Also does anyone here have some advice only an experienced person can give to a newbie like me?
