Asian Bark Mantis – Nymph (Theopompa servillei)

Stealthy, stunning, and rarely seen in the hobby — the Asian Bark Mantis (Theopompa servillei) is a hidden gem with serious display potential.

This bark-mimicking mantis is beautifully patterned with earthy tones and textured camouflage, allowing it to disappear against wood and bark. These captive-bred nymphs are unsexed and healthy, already showing off that cryptic look and calm, calculated movements.

Theopompa servillei is a hardy species that thrives in enclosures with vertical bark slabs, hiding places, and moderate humidity. While not as flashy as flower mantids, their subtle beauty and patient behavior make them a standout for collectors who appreciate natural elegance.
