Vietnam Giant Dead Leaf Mantis – Nymph (Deroplatys gorochovi)- Rare - Big l5+

The ultimate master of disguise — the Vietnam Giant Dead Leaf Mantis (Deroplatys gorochovi) is a dramatic mimic species that perfectly resembles a curled, dried leaf.

Native to Southeast Asia, this mantis grows large and broad, with an earthy brown coloration and textured body that makes it nearly vanish in leaf litter. These captive-bred nymphs are unsexed and feeding well. As they grow, they become more impressive, spreading their "leafy" threat display and showing off their wide pronotum.

Ideal for intermediate hobbyists, this species thrives in a warm, humid setup with vertical surfaces, low air movement, and dimmer lighting. Keep them solitary, as they're cannibalistic like most mantids.
