African Pink Flower Mantis
A delicate green mantis from tropical Africa that develops pink highlights when near flowers. It is small and slender with an elegant, smooth body shape.
Did You Know?
Its translucent green color allows light to pass through its body, enhancing its floral camouflage.
Dragon Mantis
A rare and bizarre-looking mantis from pristine Southeast Asian rainforests. Its elongated body and twig-like limbs make it virtually invisible among branches and dead leaves.
Did You Know?
Dragon mantises are so rare that they are found only in undisturbed primary rainforest — any logging or clearing causes their local disappearance.
