Giant Asian Mantis Hierodula membranacea

Description

The Giant Asian Mantis Hierodula membranacea has a classic shape. They tend to be green and are as large as any popular hobby mantis gets. This is a great beginner’s species.

L3 or so nymphs/immatures (have shed about twice). Specimens may have partial antennae that will regenerate. Currently feeding on fruit flies or house flies.

$14 each.

See my Mantis Care Sheet for care info.
