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 L3/L4 nymphs (have shed their skin twice or thrice). Feeding on D. hydei fruit flies or house flies. $19.99 each.
