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.
