Avocado Mantis – Nymph (Stagmatoptera supplicaria)

Bright green and built like a little tank — the Avocado Mantis (Stagmatoptera supplicaria) is a vibrant, muscular species with a fierce hunting style and stunning display.

Native to Central and South America, this species is known for its vivid green coloration, broad body, and powerful strike. These captive-bred nymphs are unsexed, active, and already showing the signature attitude that makes this species so popular. When threatened, they flash bold eye spots on their wings — a display that’s just as effective as it is beautiful.

Avocado Mantises prefer taller enclosures with climbing room, solid perches, and good airflow. They're hardy eaters and fast growers, making them excellent choices for intermediate-level keepers looking for something flashy and fun to watch.
