Staff Mantis Study 16x20 (SGO-21)

Malaysia, 16" x 20"

More closely resembling a predatory walking stick than a mantis, this Toxodera species nevertheless has little in common with stick insects.

Though it too spends much of its day motionless in nearly perfect camouflage, its motive is vastly more aggressive-striking out with blinding speed at nearly anything it can overpower.

It is a supernal hunter, and like many of the arthropods it preys upon, thoroughly enigmatic.
