Sinomantis denticulata

Discover the delicate beauty of the Glass Mantis (Sinomantis denticulata) — a tiny, almost transparent mantis species admired for its glass-like appearance and subtle camouflage. Native to Vietnam, these mantises are masters of stealth, blending seamlessly into light foliage and forest litter.

Our Glass Mantises are carefully sourced from responsible breeders whenever available, ensuring quality and sustainability. Due to their miniature size, they feed exclusively on small soft-bodied insects such as fruit flies and tiny flies, and require gentle care and consistent conditions to thrive.

Best suited for experienced or patient keepers, this micro mantis species is fascinating to observe and perfect for those who enjoy the challenge of raising delicate invertebrates.
