Mantis Verde Argentina

The Argentine crested mantis measures between (5 and 8 cm) and is reddish green in color. They are commonly found in fields and swamps around plants and trees. These insects are active throughout the day, stalking to hunt a variety of insects such as bees, wasps, cockroaches, crickets and grasshoppers. Reproduction usually takes place in the fall. Before, during or after copulation, the female may partially or completely devour the male. Oothecae are usually deposited on twigs and the nymphs mature within a year.
