Cat-eye Mantis or Giant African Twig Mantis
​(Heterochaeta orientalis)

Picture
Nala is an adult female mantis and is very gentle to hold. She is very old now but hanging in there! Mantids are the most awesome of all bugs.

​Fascinating fact: Mantids have an ear on their tummy to hear bats squeaking as the swoop in on them.
