small mantid
Miomantis binotata

Field Notes
Description:
I'm guessing this is a young Zebra mantid because of the pink-brown colouration on the thorax and the hint of stripes on the legs. Adult Zebra mantids have characteristically patterned fore wings. This youngster was about 30 mm while adults reach over 50 mm in length
Habitat:
attracted to lights
Subtropical bush savannah with hot, erratically wet summers and mild, dry winters
Notes:
(this spotting is from the Botswana side of the Limpopo)
