Malaysian Giraffe Mantis – Nymph (Euchomenella heteroptera)

Tall, elegant, and alien-like — the Malaysian Giraffe Mantis (Euchomenella heteroptera) is a lanky predator with long limbs and a patient, stalking style. Known for their stretched-out appearance and calm hunting behavior, these mantises resemble delicate twigs or sticks as they wait motionless for unsuspecting prey.

These captive-bred nymphs are unsexed and thriving. They require more vertical space than most mantids and do best in taller enclosures with plenty of climbing room, ventilation, and moderate humidity. Their graceful movements and unique appearance make them a standout species in any mantis collection.

Best suited for intermediate to advanced keepers due to their size and space needs.
