Giant Rainforest Mantis – Nymph (Hierodula majuscula)

Massive, vibrant, and bold — the Giant Rainforest Mantis (Hierodula majuscula) is one of the largest mantis species in the hobby and an absolute showstopper.

Native to Australia’s tropical rainforests, this mantis boasts a vivid green or golden hue and an impressively broad build. These captive-bred nymphs are unsexed and already full of personality. Known for their strong feeding response and hardy nature, this species makes an excellent choice for intermediate and advanced keepers who want a big, interactive predator.

Provide a tall, spacious enclosure with excellent airflow, stable humidity, and plenty of vertical climbing space. This species is a display mantis through and through — strong, active, and stunning from every angle.
