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.
Borneo Stick Mantis
A large stick mantis endemic to Borneo with leaf-like wing expansions. Its wings resemble dried leaves and add to its twig-and-leaf disguise.
Did You Know?
Its leaf-like wing expansions are wider than those of any other Toxodera species.
