Malaysian Dead Leaf Mantis

Description

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.

Available as L5 nymphs (have shed their skin about four times). Feeding on house flies. $21 each.
