This 20 November 2015 video from Amersfoort zoo in the Netherlands is about the recent birth there of 21 spiny flower mantis babies.

The youngsters will need to molt seven times before they reach adulthood, when they will be as colourful as their parents.
This 26 September 2014 is about when the spiny flower mantis adults had just arrived in the zoo.
