Malaysian Dead Leaf Mantis

Description

This listing is for a SUBADULT MALE specimen.

Deroplatys lobata dead leaf mantises are legendary dead leaf mimics. Motionless and waiting for prey, their closed brown wings are complete with the same vein structure as a dried, dead leaf. As the photo above shows they are able to come to life in startling, colorful display when threatened.

Note: Main photo on page is of an adult female Deroplatys lobata. A young nymph is also pictured.

Currently feeding on house flies (see related products below).
