Description
Here's another image from upcoming trio of Mantis sets...
The Avocado Mantis is native to the northern half of the South American continent. The species was discovered by Hermann Burmeister in 1838 and is noted for the particularly large 'eyes' on the females wings as adults. The female is 7.2 to 9.3 cm in length, while the male is typically 10-20% smaller. Spot on the Pterostigma (top outward edge of the wing) of males has a brown stripe and a small brown spot, while on the female, it is a large oval spot almost reaching the margin of the discoidal area (which looks similar to an avocado pit).
