Grass Mantis

Grass Mantis (Schizocephala bicornis)

The Grass Mantis is a slender, agile species perfectly adapted to resemble blades of grass. Native to South and Southeast Asia, this mantis relies on its elongated body and green or brown coloration to stay hidden among tall vegetation. Unlike bulkier mantis species, the Grass Mantis is lightweight and quick, making it an exceptional ambush predator.
