how do i catch a Orchid Mantis

[Kurei]

I have a whole bunch of white flowers every where and i have not yet seen the Orchid Mantis any hints?

It's all down to luck, as long as you're in the right months to catch them, which is April - November

just curious are they rare?

Well, just make sure you have lots of flowers, and once you see one on a flower, equpi your net, approach it slowly, and swing JUST when you're close enough for your net to swing. Hope I could help!

i've got TONS of flowers so I think I'm pretty much set Is that bug rare or common or semi common or semi rare?

They're not THAT rare, but they are a little. Pretty easy to find if you have lots of flowers around your town. Here's a suggestion: Buy all the flowers from Nook's everyday, until you find one!

Oh, I'm sorry to hear. Keep buying flowers, and watch out when walking near flowers. Good luck!
