Mantodea
-26.3166, 31.9903
Field Notes
Description:
A bit over 10 cm mantid. Very good camouflaged among dry grass and sticks. Bummer he chosed the green rainy season :P
Habitat:
Magadzavane, rain season. Mixed forest, lubombo region.
Altitude: 543.799 m
latitude/longitude: -26.316624, 31.990292
Notes:
This mantid was one out of two my sharped eyed brother found, just before the rain started to fall, and the whole family had to take cover inside :)
I have found a possible match in this: Giant Grass Mantis, Danuria thunbergi, but I dont understand why it is sometimes referred to as Rivetina thunbergi? Loat in the mantid jungle!
